I mapped caps lock to escape.
- caymanjim 6y agoThat's where Control belongs!
- rovr138 6y agoThank you!
- draebek 6y agoFYI there are various utilities (Hammerspoon and Karabiner Elements, off the top of my head) that can make caps lock act as escape if pressed and released, control if used in conjunction with other keys. This took some getting used to, but thanks to the Touch Bar, I got used to it and now I find it invaluable. YMMV of course.
- jrib 6y agoI agree with both of you :) https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/ https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/ has an option that maps caps lock to control when press in conjunction with another key and as escape when pressed alone
- chefandy 6y agoI have 20+ years of muscle memory that pushes my pinky into that upper-left-hand corner. No way that's going to change.
- moe 6y agoIf you want to try it, grab https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/ https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/ Activate the complex modification called "Change caps_lock to control if pressed with other keys, to escape if pressed alone". Now you have a capslock key that doubles as control and escape and your pinky can begin recovering from the decades of abuse.
