Hi Akib,
I also use Emacs with EXWM. To prevent Emacs pinky, I add the following
lines to my $HOME/.xsession file:
=======================================
# Set keyboard repeat rate
xset r rate 200 60
# Change Caps Lock to Ctrl
setxkbmap -option "ctrl:nocaps"
setxkbmap -option "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
=======================================
Remember to put `exwm` at the end of your $HOME/.xsession file to launch
your window manager when X starts up.
Happy hacking,
Gary
