I use i3wm, and to map cap lock to escape, I run:

setxkbmap -option caps:swapescape

This works fine, but sometimes while hitting the F1 key, my pinky can accidentally hit the Escape key, which turns on CapsLock.

Gnome has a very nice way to do this, where Shift + Escape = CapsLock. Hitting Escape on its own will do nothing.

    I have a ZSA Voyager and my escape key is on my left thumb, beside the space key.

    For the life of me though I can’t imagine why anyone is still using CAPSLOCK, vbU.
