I use Vim and command mode in any GUI editors that support it, so I’m hitting the Esc key hundreds of times a day. I’ve always been curious about mapping my Caps Lock key to escape to cut down on the distance I have to reach, but it used to require quite a bit of complexity.
I recently moved to a new MacBook Pro with a Touch Bar and a virtual Esc key, so I decided to look into it again.
As of macOS Sierra 10.12.1, it’s incredibly simple.
