In Emacs, you have to use the CTRL all the time, >for every movement. (Unless you use arrow keys, but then you have to take >your hands off the home row). > >In vi, the key that you use a lot more often is Escape. I constantly go from >Input to Escape modes. Constantly. That is why it makes sense to remap the >Caps Lock key, which is used rarely, to the Escape key, not control. I think >it is done the same way as in your example, except that Control_L gets >replaced by Escape. Ctrl-[ == Escape so it is still better to map CapsLock to Control. That way you get a handy Escape _and_ easy access to Control. dar
