How often are you all using caps lock?

I mean I knew some people that used it in place of the shift key but.. generally my usage is really low.

I’m a programmer and I mapped mine to ctrl years ago. never looked back.

Lots of references to tools like Karabiner and Keyboard Maestro, but by default macOS lets you rebind it to a few things. If you go to Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Modifier Keys, you can set caps lock to act as control, option, command, globe, or escape (which is the most useful one IMO). Best thing is that this setting is also per keyboard -- if you have a laptop that you regularly dock with an external keyboard, you don't have to have the Caps Lock key on that keyboard mapped the same as on the internal keyboard.

right lmao. i have a touchbar macbook so i’ve “sacrificed” my caps lock to regain a physical escape key.

I use karabiner to make the caps lock another meta key like shift or Command. Pushing it makes the ijkl keys into up left down right. Plus more.

I remap mine to Command. Caps Lock is one of the least useful keys on a keyboard to be honest.
