I agree that caps lock is an improvement over escape's location. But, if you're like me, you also find it to be an improvement over control's location so you have caps lock mapped to that already so rebinding esc to caps lock is not an option.

You can have the best of both worlds on *nix: tap == ESC, hold == CTRL http://www.economyofeffort.com/2014/08/11/beyond-ctrl-remap-...

Interesting, but on macOS 10.12.x it must be Karabiner-Elements and at least the UI does not make me replicate this behavior.

Editing the JSON config will do the trick as described here: https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements/issues/8

There is also a solution for Hammerspoon users here: https://gist.github.com/arbelt/b91e1f38a0880afb316dd5b573275...

That's not a bad option and I had not considered it. I will try it out, thanks!
