Ever since I got my first mechanical keyboard, I’ve been able to turn caps lock, one of the most useless functions on a keyboard, into something actually useful. The keyboard came with a switch on the back that allowed it to act as another control key. It was great! Made for an easier ctrl+s shortcut since my left pinky already sat next to the caps lock key. Been using it for 12 years now. It’s basically second nature.

There are software utilities for this as well in case you don’t have an external keyboard that can help you set this up.

If you are on a Mac, Hyperkey is a delightful, simple utility that can help you convert your CapsLock(⇪) key into a Hyperkey(✦). I personally set it to Hyper(✦) when pressed and Escape(⎋) when tapped.

If you’d like more control and don’t want to install a utility written by someone else, you can also enable Karabiner Elements to achieve the same thing. Use an LLM tool to help you configure that.
