Remap caps lock to escape. After I did this I realized Esc is a really useful key in a wide variety of contexts.

make capslock to contorl, then use xcape

now capslock does both ctrl and escape
best settings ever!
Great idea, thanks!
I've dealt with this by switching ctrl and alt - I find hitting alt with my thumb is far less strenuous than reaching for ctrl with my pinky.
I may give xcape a shot, however.
Man does that ever look awesome
One of the best ideas I ever had. Caps Lock is one of the biggest keys on my keyboard and close to the rest. It would be a waste to use it for a single, rarely-used function.

Capslock is already ctrl.
Now, I could dmap ctrl-l to esc. But I'm so used to the high-left pivot for 'esc' on Thinkpad keypads (and it's a tall key making for an easier target) that it's not worth the bother.
