I'm happy we VIM users have been loud enough to get the most important key back. :-)
I know there's Ctrl-[ but it's 20 years of muscle memory to retrain, and I don't want to do that.

After listening to the same track for a few hours it really stuck.
In situations where I'm excited and messaging my friends to yell, I've typed entire sentences mostly holding down Left Shift. After some experimentation, it looks like even for normal sentence capitalization, I never use Right Shift unless I'm typing one-handed.
More seriously color syntax highlighting works far better than capitalizing almost everything in sight. I’d recommend dropping the caps convention.
Caps for constants is a long standing convention in many style guides and standard libraries.
Going further I’m of the opinion that color syntax highlighting does that job far better thus rendering the capital convention obsolete.
Note: you may have a different opinion than me and if you do the laws of the code formatting holy war demand that I assert that you’d be wrong.
SQL does not have to be written in uppercase generally. If you care, use an autoformatter.
Have to say I was able to retrain pretty quickly. jj is now my first instinct even on full-sized keyboards. I now think it’s really an improvement. All about staying on that home row as much as possible..
