I have a similar remapping of Caps:

  * When I tap Caps, it's `<esc>`
  * When I hold Caps OR hit it in combination with any other key, it's `<ctrl>`

It really feels like the best of both worlds. I primarily develop on OSX, so I use https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/ to handle the remapping.

This works great on my Linux machine. On the Mac though I hate that all Mac apps use Command for well, all command-key combinations instead of Ctrl, so I map the Caps-lock to Command instead, but while Karabiner can do the dual "Esc on tap plus other on hold" for Ctrl, Shift and Option keys, it cannot frustratingly do it for the Command key. ITerm can switch caps-lock back to Ctrl, but then I lose the Esc double function. It's maddening.

Oh man I had no idea Karabiner could do that. Thanks!
