I remember feeling this way about the escape key when I started learning
vi.
That's why the first thing most emacs users do is remap the caps lock
key to control. :)
That's what I do now. Caps lock is generally useless anyway. All it is
good for is making you feel stupid when it somehow gets turned on and
you can't figure out your password.
Seriously, though, if I were using vi/vim in anger, I would probably map
escape to caps lock.
I have this in my .xsession which I have checked into svn where all of
my homedir dotfiles live so I can just check them out onto any machine I
have to do work on:
# This sets my caps lock key to be a control key the way it was meant to be
# This only works inside X
setxkbmap -option "ctrl:nocaps"
