Bug Description

How to reproduce:

1. Swap Esc and Caps Lock either in gnome-tweak-tool or running "setxkbmap -option caps:swapescape".
2. Press and hold Atl + Tab (application overview is displayed).
3. Press Caps Lock key (remapped to Esc now).

Expected behavior: Cancel the Alt + Tab application overview without switching to any window.
Actual behavior: Window overview stays open. However, pressing Esc cancels the application overview without switching to any window as if it wasn't remapped, but Caps Lock is toggled.

Analogous behavior in window spread view - Super + W, possibly elsewhere. Workaround: https://github.com/oblitum/caps2esc
