I personally use Vi and so do others I hear from (as in HN) but other than that it would probably never come up as an issue. For the record, you can remap Caps lock to Esc which is as good, if not better than escape. I use this on my iPad and other keyboards as well (even with the esc key)
- cpcallen 6y agoA bit tricky when I have Caps Lock remapped to Control, like any self-respecting emacs user!
- kekumu 6y agoDo both! You can use karabiner elements to remap CAPS LOCK so that it’s ESCAPE when tapped and CONTROL when held.
- blymphony 6y agoI also map my Caps Lock to Control, but don't forget that Ctrl + [ is the equivalent of Escape in vi/vim. It's a chord, but it ends up being much more convenient for me since the keys are both comfortably around the home row keys.
- kentosi 6y agoI think one of the main points is that you shouldn't have to.
- dkonofalski 6y agoI agree but, as I said initially, I only see this in the developer crowd. I just don't hear that type of criticism from any other segment in any of the companies I work with.
