You can map your Caps Lock key to Esc.

Caps lock is where God wanted Control to be.

You can map it so that tapping caps lock is escape and holding it down is control.

It can be both. I know people who have it configured to be escape when it's pressed and released, but control when it's held down in combination with another key.

Which just means you then rewrite your muscle memory to hit caps lock on all your colleagues computers by accident.

No thank you.

I use Ctrl+[ instead of escape a lot of the times. Granted this is with mapping caps lock to control.

I’m afraid of mapping the caps lock to escape as a holdover from flash games where escape quit your game and so I fear destructive actions if I accidentally press escape instead of the “a” key, whereas if I accidentally press control nothing happens.

Am I the only one who actually uses the caps lock daily in this era? I see people remapping it all the time, and wonder.
