how about Escape?
- jxy 10y agoI was really worried about Esc, then I realized, you know, there's gotta be a way to remap the whole touch bar to be Esc.
- jakobegger 10y agoRemap Caps Lock to Esc?
- tomsthumb 10y agoWhere would the ctrl key go?
- mateuszf 10y agoYou can configure caps lock pressed alone to act as escape, but when pressed in combination with other key to work as control. Very useful for both vi and emacs users.
- HappyAndHarmles 10y agoInteresting. How would you configure this on a Mac?
- superplussed 10y agoYou would install this: https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements
- mateuszf 10y agoI use Karabiner and BetterTouchTool in combination
- brobinson 10y agoControl + [
- kagamine 10y agoLets talk European keyboards, [ is alt+8. This has been a long running frustration for apps that don't allow remapping but use the US/UK keyboard as standard.
- daenney 10y agoI'm not sure what "European keyboard" you have but mine doesn't work that way. [ is a key on my keyboard I don't need to press any modifiers for. It's also a bit odd to generalise this to European keyboards as some layouts vary wildly on the continent based on the lack of or added letters to their alphabet. Also, UK is in Europe so would count as a European layout.
- majewsky 10y agoTo be more specific, this is true at least on a German QWERTZ layout.
- metafunctor 10y agoControl + ] or Control + [ is frequently the escape character, although not always. You can usually type it with Control + some key right of P. In the Swedish keyboard, use Control + å, German is Control + ü. But it does vary wildly, French is Control + 6, Hungarian is Control + 5, and so on.
- salgernon 10y agoI learned escape as C-[ long ago and never regretted it. Too many keyboards tried to be smart about it. On, and control next to the a,and caps lock something that requires two people to turn keys at the same time from separate bunkers.
