You can remap the capslock key to escape. Or do what I do, have capslock be ctrl when combined with a non modifier key, and escape otherwise. I enter normal mode with my pinky.

Re-read your comment, how do you do this at OS level? I can imagine doing this in Vim or Tmux, but OS level for any application?

The latest version 10.12.1 of mac os gives you this option. In modifier keys in keyboard preferences.

Same here. Caps is CTRL. so in tmux CTRL+a is right next to each other.

b.t.w on Happy Hacking keyboard that button is CONTROL by default.
