Ask HN: I want to remap my Capslock, any good idea?
Caps lock is a key I hardly ever used, and it's taking humongous space on my keyboard. This is not efficient, this is not good. I hate it.
I'm considering remap it to another function or key, any good ideas?
All I can think of right now is Escape.

- arkitaip 15y agoUse it to launch the software you use the most.
- liquidzoot 15y agoIf you use VIM, that might be the best thing to do. Mine's mapped to Control.
- TheStanman 15y agoI think Control is the best choice. It makes it much easier to use Control-modified commands, especially in Vim/Emacs. For Vim, you can use Control-[ to exit insert mode, a command that becomes much easier with Caps Lock remapped to Control. I use Vim, and I prefer more convenient Control-modified commands over having an Escape on home row. Besides, having Control on home row and using Control-[ is basically like having Escape on home row :)
