- ses1984 7y agoOk then it you have caps remapped to ctrl, remap ctrl to escape. There are many valid criticisms of the touch bar macs, losing one key in particular is pretty low on the list.
- thaumasiotes 7y ago> i[f] you have caps remapped to ctrl, remap ctrl to escape The whole reason to remap caps lock to ctrl is that ctrl is in a terrible location.
- ses1984 7y agoEscape is in a relatively terrible location as well, the default ctrl location is just as bad, hence remapping escape there isn't really worse than escape in the top left.

- jnevelson 7y agoCheck out Karabiner Elements (https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/ https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/). You can create a rule to change caps lock to control if pressed with other keys, else escape if pressed alone. I have no affiliation with it, just ran into this issue myself and it solved it for me.
- Lio 7y agoThat kind of highlights an issue for me though. If Apple were really on the ball with macOS they would have a better remap utility built in. Instead we have Karabiner Elements which has been of mixed stability in my experience. Many times I've had it completely disable the internal keyboard on my late 2013 MBP to the point where I have to plug in a USB keyboard to recover or if on the road do a force power reset.
