How is it fantastic to use a combo of the worst finger with the second worst motion (sideways pinky for caps) for such a frequent action add mode switching? Ct

Ctrl+] is similarly bad
jj doesn't work for multilingual layouts (chance that this sequence is used in typing in that language)
(yes, Karabiner can achieve what you've described)
- addicted 3y agoI guess it depends on your dexterity, hand placement on the home row and the keyboard you’re using, but my left pinky falls onto caps naturally and I pull it in towards my other fingers for typing letters. All of those are options. You don’t need to use all of them. Ctrl+] may be bad but people use it (I don’t like it which is why I’ve never used it, but there may be layouts in which it works well). But im honestly struggling to see how pinky on the left cap is a bad option. And even if its a bad option, its a lot better than either CTRL keys, rhe ESC key, or the cursor keys which would be necessary to use without modal editing.
