I guess it's time to remap CapsLock to ESC. Something we all should have done a long ago anyway.

  Caps is remapped to control though!

    Time to remap control to ESC then!

      Eventually, no one else will be able to use my computer as all keys will be remapped. That's what I call physical security!

        You can already do that if you type Dvorak :P

          I'm in college, and every time I turn an exercise in the assistant takes my keyboard, tries to navigate Vim with my Dvorak setup and stares blankly as something completly different than what they expected happened.

    That sounds more like an emacs thing to do. Well, you could map control to escape then :-)
    • bobwaycott 10y ago
      You can map it to both, actually. :)

    I saw something yesterday to the effect that you can have your cake (Control) and eat it (ESC) too. The Caps Lock key can be set so that if it is pressed and released alone, it sends Escape, but if you use it as a modifier, Ctrl-A, say, then it's Control. I think that's clever, but my opinion might change after I try it.

      That sounds interesting, do you have a link?

      Here's a comment of mine elsewhere explaining how I do exactly this (and more): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12810873 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12810873

    caps is remapped to control when holding, esc when pressing!
