Re using the Caps key mapped to Esc. Many people are commenting they never use the Caps Lock key. I'm puzzled since I use it all the time. Do you not capitalise your constants or globals? Or maybe you don't write much C or C++; I'm not sure what the standards are for ruby etc.
Autocomplete helps, but life without a CapsLock would be awkward for me.
I also find it strange that so few people use caps lock, but among all my programmer associates, I am the only one that does. That said, I hit Esc way more often than Caps Lock, so I've swapped those two keys.
