As a vim, linux, shell guy, I still love my mapping of Caps Lock pressed to CTRL und Caps Lock released to ESC.
Being able to reach CTRL and ESC with the little finger while keeping your hands on the home row keys is great.

- ivanjermakov 4mo agoThis is trivial to map on QMK/ZMK mechanical keyboards too, using mod-tap: https://docs.qmk.fm/mod_tap https://docs.qmk.fm/mod_tap
- jrecyclebin 4mo agoWas always my first tweak to a new machine - such an obvious change. Moving to a split keyboard gave me three keys at each thumb - the same kind of realization. We have two thumbs that most keyboards map to a single space bar. The thumb is a really solid finger for modifiers. Another nice thing about a custom keyboard is not needing to map the keys - it's in the firmware.
