I really can't operate without caps lock as escape. That is one of the reason I am apprehensive about setting a leader key(space) because getting used to that will make me incompatible with everyone else's machine.

I've never really understood everyone's hate for using backslash for the leader key. It's easily reachable with my pinky finger without much hand contortion. I agree with your point though; part of the reason I'm always apprehensive about redefining keys is because I'm never 100% sure whose keyboard I'm going to be typing on (though that's less of an issue now cuz of COVID).

  When I was first learning (and consequently perving on everyone else’s vimrcs), I noticed a meme where many people use comma for leader. I followed suit but later learned from Practical Vim that this is a bad idea because comma already has an important function. (Discovering what that function is and why it’s important is left as an exercise for the reader).
