The macOS program Karabiner (especially in combination with BetterTouchTools) lets you go far beyond this, mapping arbitrary keys not just to different modifier keys but to any action desired.

Incredibly useful for coding (I have Caps Lock change focus between my IDE and most recent non-IDE window for mouse-free iteration cycles) and Mac gaming (tab-targeting is much more powerful with the caps lock button in play!)

+1 on karabiner and BTT; if using karabiner, perhaps check out goku: it gives you a much nicer language for writing karabiner profiles than just slogging them out in pure json.
