I would like to map my CapsLock to Escape. How do I represent CapsLock in .vimrc
?
I know to map space to a command I would do something like this:
:map <space> viw
How would I map CapsLock to Escape without doing a registry hack – I'm looking for a Vim command?
If that is not possible without a hack or additional software I would like to assign the shortcut jj to ESC in .vimrc
. I'm currently doing this:
inoremap jj <esc>
However if I'm in visual mode this does not work. How could I make jj emulate the escape key?

I don't think you can map CapsLock from within Vim. You remap it within X using
setxkbmap
:For remapping in the console, if your distro uses
systemd
, you can use a custom keyboard layout in/etc/vconsole.conf
as described on the Arch Wiki, and for other init systems see this U&L answer.
