Why not just change caps-lock to esc.
setxkbmap -option caps:escape
- Lio 10y agoOne reason would be so that you can use C-h as backspace, C-i as tab and C-m as return without moving your whole hand. Of course you could map caps lock to be both ctrl and escape at the same time but C-[ is almost as good.
- mikegerwitz 10y agoPersonally, because it offers me no benefit: [ is on the other hand, so it's the same speed as hitting a single key, and I use Ctrl for many other things; Esc is specialized. I'm also an Emacs (and vim) user (Evil mode, of course).
