How do you like not having a real escape key?
- gizmo385 10y agoI don't have the new MBP, but how often do you really use the escape key? I'm use solely vim for my development work and I almost never encounter a need to use the escape key.

- 58028641 10y agoUsing caps lock as escape is pretty common. I think there is a virtual escape button on the touch bar.
- eridius 10y agoThere is a virtual escape. Personally, I have "jk" mapped to escape (whereas Caps Lock is rebound to Control system-wide).
- Fnoord 10y agoHow did you accomplish this without an external program?
- eridius 10y agoWhich, "jk" or Caps Lock? The "jk" mapping is just in Vim. As for Caps Lock, if you go to System Preferences, and the Keyboard prefpane, there's a button "Modifier Keys…" in the lower-right corner that lets you remap the modifier keys (including Caps Lock) to other modifiers. So I just use that to remap Caps Lock to Control.
