On my laptop, I already use Karabiner to make Caps Lock function as Control if used as a modifier key, and ESC if just tapped. Much easier to reach, works for both Emacs and Vim keybindings, only issue is that sometimes you hit ESC by accident if you start doing a chord but then decide against it. I personally think this is a better solution than a soft key for escape, but it may not be to everyone's taste.
- FordPrefectAO 10y agoI think they broke Karabiner support in the new macOS
- lambda 10y agoAh, that's disappointing. Another reason to be glad I haven't upgraded yet, I guess. Also, wow, I'm glad I don't maintain any popular open source projects on GitHub: https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner/issues/660 https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner/issues/660. I can't believe the number of people who think "+1", "me too", and "donated" messages are at all helpful. Also, looks like Karabiner Elements exists as a rewrite for Sierra. https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements Haven't yet checked if it supports the same dual behavior, though.
- comex 10y agoIt's being worked on, but the latest macOS also adds Caps Lock to Escape mapping as a builtin preference.
- lambda 10y agoI'm an Emacs user though, so I like it being Control as a modifier/Escape if pressed alone. Just having Caps Lock function as escape wouldn't help.
