I’ve never found a problem with it. Right at the corner, it’s easy to hit with my left ring finger, sitting perfectly at a comfortable distance (based on where I rest my hands) for a slap in that general direction.
(I use my Caps Lock as Backspace. Backspace near the top right is vastly less comfortable to reach than Escape in the top left.)
- afarviral 5y agoDisagree with Esc being in a good spot but having dabbled with the "workman" keyboard layout can confirm its quite lovely having backspace as caps. I often wonder about making capslock backspace, and original backspace becoming Escape. Since I already have strong muscle memory to stretch to backspace...
- avgcorrection 5y agoThat’s how I use Escape too in Evil Emacs/Spacemacs. There is some funky default in Spacemacs where you can hit something like d+f in rapid succession in order to enter normal mode but I didn’t find it to be worth it. People really like the home row but (1) I think it is fine to leave it once in a while and (2) my joints don’t like stay in a very static position for too long in any case.
