The classic mapping is Alt/Meta to send escape when tapped, because terminals send Alt-q as `ESC q`.

I have no strong opinions about how people lay out their keyboards, other than that people should try a split key if they haven't. My layout sends ESC when Alt is tapped, capslock is for backspace.

What about holding spacebar to overheat the computer and exit emacs?

I know the xkcd, I just don't understand your point.

I was just making a joke about how deep we can all get into configuring every little thing on a PC - no offense or point intended, I spend as much time configuring my boxes as using them if I'm being honest.
