Caps Lock is that key that's best replaced with Ctrl? ;)

Only for Emacs users. Vim users generally replace it with Escape.

Except that vim was designed on a keyboard with the Ctrl key at the place of your current capslock (for most keyboards, Japanese still have Ctrl at the "right" plac).

Why not both ;) - ESC when tapped, CTRL as a modifier key when pressed together with some other key.

Good idea! Though aborting a Ctrl-C could close a dialog window :/

I'm a vim user and replace it with Ctrl. It's much more useful and you can use ^[ to get Escape.

I like Compose on CapsLock more.

I like to have Caps Lock cycle the last two used keyboard languages. A necessity when there are five designated on the keyboard!
