If there's one thing I will always be grateful to emacs for; it will be changing Caps Lock -> Ctrl

Life changing.

I completely agree, but I have the os do that. Except on my iPad where I am grateful for blink to have that capability.

On windows I had a special mode for caps lock via autohotkeys. Press and release meant esc. Press followed by another key and release was ctrl-key. I really liked that, but I couldn’t do it on Mac or iPad so I just settled on ctrl.

My old //e has control there naturally.

The behaviour you have for Windows is available for Mac with Karabiner-Elements. It's tremendously helpful.

I haven’t looked at karabiner-elements for a while. Last I looked it wasn’t able to do what I needed. I’ll go have a peek.

sure, i changed it at OS level too. maybe i should have wrote "introduce me to Caps Lock -> Ctrl"
