As a software rather than keyboard hack, I've been using and loving the following setup on macOS:
* Remap Caps Lock to Ctrl
* Then use Hammerspoon[1] to map Ctrl(hold) / Esc (momentary press)
This essentially puts both Ctrl and Esc in a comfortable position on the home row, probably my favorite "ergo hack" ever.

- nateroling 4y agoI do the same with Karabiner, I didn’t realize Hammerspoon could handle that… might be able to drop one app from my “must have” list…
- shepmaster 4y ago> map Ctrl(hold) / Esc (momentary press) Do you have an example of this configuration somewhere you could share? Or are you using something existing, like https://github.com/jasonrudolph/ControlEscape.spoon https://github.com/jasonrudolph/ControlEscape.spoon ?
- kclejeune 4y agoam not OP, but I accomplish the same thing like this: https://github.com/kclejeune/system/blob/master/modules/home-manager/dotfiles/hammerspoon/caps2esc.lua https://github.com/kclejeune/system/blob/master/modules/home... I previously used Karabiner for this and as far as I can tell, the behavior is the same.
- rco8786 4y agoYou can do the same with 1 config item using Karabiner-Elements also. Same exact thing just offering another option!
- eoinbmorg 4y agoI do the same in the Ergodox QMK firmware, no app needed on the device. Just mentioning it since OP has the same keyboard!
- warrenm 4y agoI always disable capslock - it's about the most useless key on the keyboard 99.9992% of the time
- AbundantSalmon 4y agoI have it set as a "super" modifier, i.e. cmd + ctrl + option + shift, perfect as then you can use it as a modifier for shortcuts as no programs use that a default keyboard shortcut
