you can do tap for esc, hold for ctrl

[hultner]

This is what I've done for years now, best thing since sliced bread.

Tap what?

[stevelosh]

They mean remapping capslock to:

* Ctrl if held and used with other keys.

* Esc if pressed and released on its own.

There's no reason to press and release Ctrl on its own (minus games), and you never need to chord Esc with anything else, so they can both live on the same key.

Thank you for explaining. Didn't know you could do that. Will look it up.
