On my Mac I use Karabiner to map Caps + [key] to Ctrl, and a lone press to Esc. It's amazing.

- foldr 8y agoOh that's neat, thanks for the tip.
- driverdan 8y agoWow, that's a great idea. I didn't realize it had support for that.
- torstenvl 8y agoThat sounds like a perfect setup! Mind sharing the modification rule?
- prh8 8y agoI map it to Hyper, but you can tweak this to just be control: { "description": "Change caps_lock to hyper/escape.", "from": { "key_code": "caps_lock", "modifiers": { "optional": [ "any" ] } }, "to": [ { "key_code": "left_shift", "modifiers": [ "left_command", "left_control", "left_option" ] } ], "to_if_alone": [ { "key_code": "escape" } ], "type": "basic" }
- prh8 8y agoI've done the same but Caps + key to Hyper (cmd+ctrl+option+shift), just to pair with custom shortcuts. But I really love using it for escape. I'm on a 2014 model but not going to the corner for escape is great. Plus I'm about to get one of these new ones, and I feel prepared since I have zero usage of the top row (other than the special functions).
