- cerberusss 7y agoIndeed, that's what I do. Also, macOS accomodates for this, because Caps Lock can be set to Escape without additional software, simply within the standard System Preferences.
- chongli 7y agoI use vim and have Caps Lock mapped to Ctrl. I type C-[ to exit insert mode.
- dmix 7y agoEvery guide I’ve seen recommends replacing caps with control. It’s the first thing I’ve done for nearly a decade on every new OS install.
- apersom 7y agoI have caps lock mapped to ctrl when holding the key down and esc on tap.
- 1996 7y agoI do the same with enter, as I like having 2 control keys! enter is control when held down and enter on tap.
- cbm-vic-20 7y agoI swap CapsLock with LCtrl, and use 'jk' to leave insert mode. I don't map Esc to the CapsLock key so I can use LCtrl-based commands in non-Vim apps (like tmux, GUI apps, etc.).
