This argument as THE SOLUTION really needs to stop. As an example I mapped caps to ctrl a long time ago so this won't work without compromises.

- foldr 7y agoYou can use Karbiner to have a short press of caps lock map to escape and a long press to control. Works pretty good.
- fwip 7y agoYep - I have mine set to be control if pressed with other keys, and escape if pressed alone. Works for everything except if I'm playing a videogame that uses ctrl to crouch. Other people argue that all real vimmers use ctrl-[ instead of escape. Edit: This is on a 2015 macbook pro, that still has the physical function keys. I almost never use the physical escape key, just capslock instead.
- 2muchcoffeeman 7y agoI almost never use caps lock so I just mapped caps to esc and hold shift for all caps. The no escape thing doesn’t bother me anymore.
- qmmmur 7y agoIs there a guide on this?
- philwelch 7y agoCan you map ctrl to esc?
- hinkley 7y agoRight? The solution is 'make the fuckin keyboard work'. These are workarounds. I have twenty... seven, Jesus. Twenty seven years of muscle memory with VI. The only keyboard I can't 'vote with my feet' on is the built-in one on my laptop. As a result I'm hardly ever using my laptop untethered now. I don't think I've ever owned a keyboard I've typed less on than the touchbar macbook. Which means I'm barely using them as laptops, which is a little depressing.
