pkill -x xcape also killed unrelated xcape instances (e.g. a Super_L tap binding). Match our Hyper_L invocation instead; xcape rewrites its argv so '=' appears as a space.

Summary
x11/caps-remap.shrestarted xcape withpkill -x xcape, which also killed unrelated xcape instances — e.g. a separateSuper_Ltap binding (xcape -t 200 -e Super_L=Alt_L F1) started by another tool.It now kills only its own instance:
pkill -f '^xcape .*-e Hyper_L'. xcape rewrites its argv in place, so=shows up as a space in the process list — the pattern matches onHyper_Lrather than the literalHyper_L=Escape.Test plan
pgrep -af xcapeshowsxcape -t 200 -e Hyper_L Escapeandxcape -t 200 -e Super_L Alt_L F1— the pattern matches only the firstx11/caps-remap.sh: Caps tap → Escape still works, Super tap binding survives
