• Binding a single key on release AND binding that same key in another combination

  Don't know about i3, but you can achieve this in Linux/X11 using for example xcape: https://github.com/alols/xcape. Source: about 1 year ago

• Keyboard shortcut on key release

  I guess that xcape is what you're looking for. Source: over 1 year ago

• How to assign Overview to meta ?

  You can use xcape (I assume xorg only; https://github.com/alols/xcape) to set any key including super/meta to trigger a custom keyboard shortcut on release. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Have you remapped CTRL and ESC, and if so, how?

  Caps Lock is both Control and Escape depending on whether you hold or tap it. I use xcape. Source: about 2 years ago

• Have you remapped CTRL and ESC, and if so, how?

  My CapsLock is an Esc right now. I use to use xcape program which would allow my caps lock to act as Esc when pressed alone, but in combination with another key it would act as Ctrl, which was very useful. That program no longer works on Wayland compositors but I have lost the habit of using the key as Ctrl anyway. Source: about 2 years ago
