make capslock to contorl, then use xcape

now capslock does both ctrl and escape

best settings ever!

Great idea, thanks!

I've dealt with this by switching ctrl and alt - I find hitting alt with my thumb is far less strenuous than reaching for ctrl with my pinky.

I may give xcape a shot, however.

Man does that ever look awesome

One of the best ideas I ever had. Caps Lock is one of the biggest keys on my keyboard and close to the rest. It would be a waste to use it for a single, rarely-used function.

Capslock is already ctrl.

Now, I could dmap ctrl-l to esc. But I'm so used to the high-left pivot for 'esc' on Thinkpad keypads (and it's a tall key making for an easier target) that it's not worth the bother.
