Honestly, it's probably something that just got overlooked. I've only ever hated my caps lock key enough on a keyboard to rebind it once.

- lbotos 8y agoSeems like you aren't using Vim Then. Caps to escape is a common binding. It's not about hate, it's about ease of modal editing.
- bscphil 8y agoAfter using a Chromebook for a while I discovered how much I love having my Caps Lock key remapped to launching the desktop search tool, and now I do it on all my computers. E.g. Milou for KDE, I think the MacOS one is called Spotlight.
- thaumasiotes 8y agoI use caps-to-ctrl. Ctrl is so common that not being able to hit caps lock for it is now a major usability issue for me on other people's computers.
- cheschire 8y agoOlder Sun keyboards used to have control in that location labelled by default. I remember buying a happy hacker keyboard back in the early 2000's that also had that as the default configuration, with a dip switch to flip it.

- bootlooped 8y agoRemapping caps lock to "app" has helped me a lot. It allows me to bring up the right click context menu without touching the mouse.
