- chrischen 7y agoI think most people actually remap to the ~ key, or if they're extreme they'll use tab. On my keyboard Escape already came as the ~ key and you have to use fn to access ~ or `. The ergonomics of moving it closer far outweigh any benefits from it being physical vs touchscreen.
- tcoff91 7y agoRemap caps-lock to escape and you're good to go! Or remap capslock to control and use Ctrl-[. Or use karabiner and remap capslock to control-when-held and escape-when-pressed-quickly.
- thedirt0115 7y agoAutoHotkey can do this "caps lock as both escape and control" thing too. I use this, from http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Map_caps_lock_to_escape_in_Windows http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Map_caps_lock_to_escape_in_Windows : ; Author: fwompner gmail com #InstallKeybdHook SetCapsLockState, alwaysoff Capslock:: Send {LControl Down} KeyWait, CapsLock Send {LControl Up} if ( A_PriorKey = "CapsLock" ) { Send {Esc} } return
- dhosek 7y agoWhen I first started using Emacs, I used to joke that with all the various modifiers and prefix keys for escapes that it was just a generation away from needing foot pedals.

- elliotlarson 7y agoRight. I've been a long time vim user and I don't really use the escape key while vim-ing. I use ctrl+c.
