As a Caps -> Ctrl lifer - i feel personally attacked.
As an aside; if you do the mapping system wide - it's useful everywhere - caps lock is useless everywhere, and Escape is marginally usefull in general desktop usage. I do ctrl-a-ctrl-a tmux 100x/day to swap panes; and ctrl-u in terminal countless times. Minimizing finger movement on all the little things is valuable. That said; I've also become a fan of home row mods also.
- eviks 2y agoFor 100x caps lock is an unergonomic position with a sideways pinky move. Much better to move it near space to a thumb (home rows is another alternative, but harder to set up)
- cassepipe 2y agoPlease don't feel attacked. At least with Ctrl there, the combination is less awkward. My point is that vim is dumb is you don't use some workaround around the problem and most people don't talk about it and just tell you that vim is great and then wonder why it's niche.
- jdbernard 2y agoI've been a Caps -> Escape-er for years now. Recently, as I've moved to Walyand and KDE Plasma, I saw that their advanced settings support Caps -> Esc / Ctrl: Esc when pressed, Ctl when held. I've been considering it, especially since I recently broke and replaced my Ctrl key. Inertia holds me back, but I had the same concern before Caps -> Esc.
