Is Cmd+R such a hard to reach combination to warrant the precious keyboard real state Caps Lock occupies? Me, I double mine as both Ctrl and Esc by using the excellent xcape https://github.com/alols/xcape https://github.com/alols/xcape on linux, and KeyRemap4MacBook otherwise.
I actually find it more relevant on my mac than on my linux box, since Ctrl on the Mac is in a horrible position, and it opens up a whole world of new easy shortcuts that conflict with little else. Plus Ctrl-C and Ctrl-L (clear) on the terminal.
- p_almer 14y agoGood point, however I honestly hit cmd+r more often than I hit Ctrl + anything. Whenever I do hit Control (such as in terminal for ctrl+c as you mentioned) it's much more deliberate and 'one-off'. Different workflows I guess.
- Keyneston 14y agoI use my caps as both ctrl and escape by having it mapped to control. Then if you need escape ctrl+[. It requires one finger from each hand and is very quick to press. Then if I want to page up or down in vim I still have the ctrl button easily reachable for ctrl+d and ctrl+u, etc.
