The key to using the Capslock key is to get a keyboard that doesn't have a stupid gap in the physical key. This *greatly* reduces any physical stress from using the capslock key as a "leader" key. I had some discomfort at first but I've been using this setup for over a year now with no RSI in my left hand. It's certainly no worse than using the Ctrl key in it's original mapping.
It can be a little overwhelming viewing the file at first but I've done my best to comment things. My ahk file is itself a heavily modified version of somebody else's setup.
