On my Macbook Pro, I have Caps Lock mapped to Esc. But every time I hit Caps Lock there would be a pause before the Esc triggered. Since I use vim bindings everywhere this was a nightmare as I switched to normal mode. I was like way less productive. It was nutty.

Fixed it using Karabiner as recommended https://superuser.com/questions/317900/eliminate-macbook-cap... and suddenly I was better at life.

Another option is to map Caps Lock to CTRL and use the default vi CTRL+[ keybinding for ESC. You get the bonus of being able to use a more ergonomic CTRL for virtually anything else that requires CTRL.

That’s what all my friends do and I could never get into it. It’s like the pedal thing. I had it for 3 months but never ended up using it comfortably.
