The only issue with that for me is that Caps Lock as Control is also a useful mapping.
{
"description": "Change caps_lock to hyper/escape.",
"from": {
"key_code": "caps_lock",
"modifiers": {
"optional": [
"any"
]
}
},
"to": [
{
"key_code": "left_shift",
"modifiers": [
"left_command",
"left_control",
"left_option"
]
}
],
"to_if_alone": [
{
"key_code": "escape"
}
],
"type": "basic"
}But I really love using it for escape. I'm on a 2014 model but not going to the corner for escape is great. Plus I'm about to get one of these new ones, and I feel prepared since I have zero usage of the top row (other than the special functions).
There are tons of settings posted on Github, and I just modified someone else's to get:
{"description":"Change right_shift alone to delete_forward",
"manipulators":[{
"from":{"key_code":"right_shift","modifiers":{"optional":["any"]}},
"to":[{"key_code":"right_shift"}],
"to_if_alone":[{"key_code":"delete_forward"}],
"type":"basic"}]}
