Curious whether you remap your Caps Lock key..

Do you remap your Caps Lock key?

  • No - I keep it as Caps Lock
  • Yes - to nothing/no action
  • Yes - to Control
  • Yes - to Option
  • Yes - to Command
  • Yes - to Globe
  • Yes - to Escape
  • Yes - to Back Space
  • Yes - to FN
  • Yes - to something else (please say in thread!)

I have no idea what Globe is btw, just seen it in the macOS options:

Hold for control, tap for escape.

“Globe” is the fn key, not sure why they don’t call it that since that’s what it’s labelled as on the key itself which is inline with everything else in that menu (except for, technically, “escape”)

Ah you’re right, my keyboard has both a globe and fn on the bottom left key :see_no_evil:

I only noticed it in the past year or two by randomly spending more time than usually in the keyboard settings menu. I had a bit of a Mandela moment when I too first realized there was a globe icon actually on the key. I could swear it only ever said fn :face_with_spiral_eyes:

Not only do I leave Caps Lock as Caps Lock, but I use it, too. :wink:

To compose key, to make it possible to type ¾ of the the æsthetically pleasant graphemes, like numbering lists with ①, ②, ③ etc.

Where’s my fellow Colemak users that remap Caps to Backspace???

(also it would be really great if Backspace was included in that settings dropdown instead of having to manually create a script to do it with hidutil)

Control when hold, Control-X when tapped.

It’s overall better than mapping it to Esc :face_with_peeking_eye:

There is non caps-lock on my keyboard, so I haven’t remapped it…

But if I had one, I’d remap it to regular shift, which is missing from the options.

I’m in the process of swotching to a Glove80 (https://www.moergo.com/) so the whole key map is custom :grin:

For me, holding it behaves like control but tapping it behaves like escape. Dual function keys (I believe this is the common name for this) are natively supported by eg ergodox but otherwise need software like karabiner on macOS.
