I agree.  If you&#x27;re on Mac, the tool Seil will allow you to map Caps to Esc.  And I use SharpKeys when on Windows.<p>The downside however is when you&#x27;re stuck using someone else&#x27;s computer or don&#x27;t have root on Mac and Windows.  I don&#x27;t find myself on someone else&#x27;s machine often though, so for me it&#x27;s worth it to not have that half second delay.
