    As a Vim user, I really like using the caps lock key as the escape key. I do not get why the caps lock is placed in such a prominent place, while I never have used it on a physical keyboard. Even when I want to type in all caps, I just tend to hold shift while typing out of habit I guess.

      Always wondered if you change the keyboard layout in order to use the caps lock key as the escape key or if there is another way to map it.

    I use caps:escape_shifted_capslock as an xkeyboard (setxkbmap) option.

    Make Caps Lock an additional Esc, but Shift + Caps Lock is the regular Caps Lock

    That way I can use it as Escape for Vim/Kakoune but still keep the caps lock functionality in reach
