Remap CapsLock instead.

  I did, it's my ctrl like anyone else that doesn't hate their pinky.

    The next level is using Karabiner-Elements to map <caps> to <ctrl> when held and <esc> when tapped.

  I do this. But then I find that whenever I have to help someone out at work in their Macbook, I have to go through the hassle of first mapping Caps Lock to Escape on their Mac, do the work, then remember to unmap it again after the helping session is over. Is there any good way to automate this workflow for helping other people on others' Mac?
