As a member of the Vim gang, I have to say that using caps-lock is better anyway and MacOS has a built-in setting for it now, so go and fix that right away.

That said, I had a MBP with touch bar for half a year and even though I was quite excited when they announced it, I hated it. I will not buy another laptop with that thing on it.

TIL it's now a native option. Thanks!

As a member of the multilingual/multi-keyboard layout gang, Caps Lock is also the default button used to switch keyboard layouts.

I've been using caps lock as my control key for too long to make this leap. :-(

Karabiner Elements has this template where caps lock can behave as an esc key if you tap it, and a ctrl key if you hold it down.

Thanks! That sounds exactly like what I need, and I'm already using Karabiner.

You can also use it for both ctrl and esc with a little help by Hammerspoon (http://hammerspoon.org), e.g. I've been using this for the past year and it works great https://github.com/jasonrudolph/keyboard#a-more-useful-caps-...
