Apple's service program for butterfly keyboard MacBooks, even out of warranty

I don't know if it's possible with third party software (I use a hardware programmable keyboard running QMK), but I map it to tap for escape, hold for ctrl. If you use vim keybindings for your editor it's glorious.

That’s what I’ve been doing too! I’m an Emacs user, and this setup has been glorious. I actually use an external keyboard, and I still use this setup.

I’ve been using Karabiner to remap: https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/index.html

Yes Karabiner is great for that. I do the same thing except I have it act as Hyper when pressed in conjunction with another key. That's how all my shortcuts are triggered.
