Thanks, Dotan. Will do.
Instead of switching Capslock and ESC, you could remap something to ESC
in Vim. For example, I use:
inoremap jj <ESC>
This lets me type 'jj' in insert mode to return to normal mode. If you
have to type a word with the letter 'j' in it, as long as you keep
typing nothing changes. The only time it would affect your behavior at
all is if you needed to type two 'j's in a row. Then you just have to
wait a second before typing the second 'j'. And how often do you type
'jj' together? (several times for this email :) )
But, if you really want to remap modifier keys in OS X, go to System
Preferences, Keyboard, then select the Keyboard tab and hit the
'Modifier Keys...' button on the bottom right. This is system wide, not
just in Vim. Note that you can't actually remap ESC - it's not one of
the options. So, you either need to download a 3rd party solution or do
something Vim specific. This page might give you some ideas:
