No, no, no. It's written "CapsLock" but pronounced "Control".

This is how most of my keyboards are because not many key sets come with big Ctrl keys.

  Particularly if you're not interested in spending €100 plus on the keycaps, then there are keycaps on Alibaba for much less money, but they don't necessarily cater to every possible layout. This keyboard is using this $27 set: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33006008300.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33006008300.html

That's still a little confusing. Can we get that in International Phonetic Alphabet?

I think you spelled "escape" wrong. Yes, I'm a vim user. On the keyboards that support it I've had it remap to another layer if I hold it, but I'm thinking of using it for escape/ctrl, as I do use some emacs commands from time to time (mostly evil mode, but not everything). But I haven't decided where to put my layer switch key yet.

  Dual esc/ctrl is the way to go. I still get phantom esc presses when I decide half-way that I don't need to ctrl+anything, but it's worth it.

    I do this and it’s my favorite thing to show people to induce a mindfuck. I hold for control and tap for escape. Then I hold out for a day or two and make them go crazy before pasting them a link to the qmk docs page for the feature. Edit: I won't hold out that long here. Here's the link to the feature to make this possible for anyone interested: https://docs.qmk.fm/#/feature_advanced_keycodes?id=mod-tap https://docs.qmk.fm/#/feature_advanced_keycodes?id=mod-tap

I deeply and truly hope that is a Monty Python reference. It's spelled "Raymond Luxury Yacht", but it's pronounced "Throat-wobbler Man-grove!" "You're a very silly person and I'm not going to interview you."
