You can re-map the Escape key to Caps Lock. I bought the new MBP and got used to this. Although I returned it later and went back to my previous machine, I still use Caps Lock as Escape.
I'm using Karabiner Elements on Sierra.
brew cask install karabiner-elements
Edit: I also believe it causes less strain on my fingers.
- yokohummer7 10y agoOh wow. I can't believe I didn't think of it earlier! As a Vim user I've always been told it is good to swap Caps Lock and Esc, yet I haven't actually tried it due to my laziness. Probably now is the time.
- WildUtah 10y agoCaps lock should be control, like it was when vi was invented. You can remap it under system preferences| keyboard| modifier As for <esc>, :inoremap kj <Esc> You'll love it.

- rectang 10y agoI've already got `caps lock` mapped to `control`, mainly because of where Apple put the `fn` button. As a heavy Vim user, I'm not looking forward to the `esc` trouble when I get my next Apple laptop.

- akvadrako 10y agoYou don't need third party software for this. Just look under Keyboard in System Prefs.
- ascagnel_ 10y agoIf a keyboard doesn't identify itself as such (I have a bluetooth keyboard that does this), you need third-party software to do it. The built-in Apple functionality only works on keyboards that say they're keyboards.
