Huh?
System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Modifier Keys -> Caps Lock Key
- Hamuko 5y agoIf it's about making the physical Esc key function as a Caps Lock, that's not an option in the modifier keys. If it's about making the physical Caps Lock key work as an Esc, then that's possible.
- Reason077 5y agoOh, yes you're correct. Strange that they let you do it one way but not the other.
- shric 5y agoIt's probably because many people have no use for caps lock so want an escape key on the home row. Not many people want another caps lock key in a hard to reach position.
- jerrycruncher 5y agoKarabiner Elements[1] should let you remap the Esc key. And, while I don't have personal experience with it, it does seem like it may allow you to set up locale-based shortcuts, as well[2].
