I use Karabiner to make one specific change to my keyboard. I remap §/±, the top left key on my UK 2018 MacBook Pro, to escape. Massive quality of life improvement over the "soft key" escape on the Touch Bar. I really should explore its other uses. (I'm not actually against the Touch Bar. I find it useful for a few things such a screen shots. But escape should never have been on it)

You could assign escape to capslock in the MacOS keyboard settings. Update: for simple keyboard remapping there is built-in `hidutil` command https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2450/_index.html https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2450... https://hidutil-generator.netlify.app/ https://hidutil-generator.netlify.app/

  Thanks for the tip. The generator doesn't make it clear which key is "§" on a uk keyboard. From a quick Google it's listed as "none_us_backslash".

    I believe that Karabiner uses the same name for it.
