Trick for those wanting caps lock to be compose instead: ctrl-c also works as escape, and has historically been slightly faster due to sidestepping the escape timeout.


<c-c> is not completely equivalent to <esc>. For example, 50i=<c-c> will insert only one equals sign.


I've remapped caps lock to ctrl with chords and escape when clicked alone. Feel it's the best of both worlds :)


Wow super useful, didn't know that.

EDIT: removed comment about cursor behavior of ctrl-c, which comes from my vimrc config ^^ Turns out I learned that long ago, but never used it :-D
