CapsLock to Escape is something I find useful with Vim. A lot of people advocate mapping it to Ctrl then using Ctrl-c or Ctrl-], but It's better to just skip the middleman I think.

If you're using X, then xcape can map both Esc and Ctrl to Capslock. https://github.com/alols/xcape

Now that is clever. Thanks for this.

You can also map it to something like 'jj'. I don't use vim that much now but I found that more ergonomic than any of the special keys.
