I was convinced to try and decided that I like using Caps Lock as a left-hand Backspace myself. Nice to have one on each side, and that one is a much more convenient reach for your pinky.

That's a great idea! You've inspired me to try setting it to Delete, because it's a bit awkward to delete characters after the caret on Mac right now (FN + Delete is the only way I know how)

Ctrl-d deletes caracters forward on macOS. Super easy when caps lock is ctrl.

I bound it to esc to try to learn vim with a touch bar. Delete sounds like an really good use. Might try that.
