capslock as escape doesn't repeat on hold, unless running `xmodmap -e "clear Lock"`
After using gnome tweak tool to set capslock to function as backspace, when you hold capslock it only registers as backspace once (and only removes one character and then stops), and doesn't repeat on hold. you will have to release it and press it again to remove one more character.
running this command in terminal fixes the problem (capslock will repeatedly delete characters on hold):
xmodmap -e "clear Lock"
