Have you tried remapping esc to capslock? (Or ctrl to capslock and esc to ctrl). I would never go back to normal esc.

- narimiran 8y ago> Have you tried remapping esc to capslock? (Or ctrl to capslock and esc to ctrl) ¿Why not both? I have (on Linux, not on Mac, but it shouldn't matter): * "caps lock" + key = Ctrl+key * "caps lock" (release) = Esc It works like charm and I can definitely recommend it.
- xutopia 8y agoHow do you map it to do that?
- SkyPuncher 8y agoKarabiner - https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/ https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/ I have mine mapped to: * caps (no other key) => esc * caps + home row => corresponding symbol key Extremely nice for programming when '(' and ')' are on 'L' and ';' keys - directly under my fingers.

- narimiran 8y agoI guess there are other ways and tools, I use this: 1. to put Ctrl on CapsLock: setxkbmap -option caps:ctrl_modifier 2. to have "dual" CL as described above: xcape -e 'Caps_Lock=Escape'
- slig 8y agoSo simple, I wish I had thought about it before. Thanks.
- eckza 8y agoFor my part: I've thought about it, but I have huge hands. Sometimes, when I'm reaching for Shift or Tab, I hit Caps Lock on accident. I would be frustrated if I hit Caps Lock on accident and it broke me out of insert mode. I can understand how it can be more ergonomic and usable for some people, though.
- tsmarsh 8y agoThe irony is that I do have capslock mapped to escape, but my fingers frequently rest where the esc key should be, so I catch it when I wasn't expecting it. Sure, this is my problem, its just only my problem on MacBook Pros.
