I’ve had caps lock remapped to escape for a few years now, and I also remapped a bunch of symbol keys like parentheses to be easier to type when coding. On other people’s computers it is slower for me type text with symbols or use vim, but I don’t mind since all of my deeply focused work (when the mini-distraction of reaching for a difficult key is most costly) happens on my own computers.
