Say what you want but this market is smaller than most of us think, at least it is when it comes to big boys tailoring the products to us. That said, if you're not sold on Extend yet, then putting Escape on CapsLock sounds reasonable to me.I don’t know about you but I am always impressed by anyone who invests their hard earned money in the surfcasting market. I'd even go so far as to say it's probably better than over half of the single-keys on the keyboard. But actually Extend-H, despite being a two-key combo, is easier and more comfortable than the single default backspace key. You might think that backspace, being a quite a common key (unless you are extremely accurate, which sadly I'm not) should have pride of place in the primary layer. I think people often think too negatively about modifier keys - but this really only stems from the fact the most of the modifiers are in terrible locations on a standard keyboard.įor example, my backspace key is Extend-H (which on a "normal" keyboard would be the equivalent of LAlt-M). You can of course bind a key to both escape and a modifier with xcape on linux, karabiner on osx, and ahk on windows, so there's no need to put it on a layer in my opinion.

I think it's best put directly on a thumbkey or capslock. As a user of mostly vim-inspired software, I use escape a lot, so I disagree that having it on a layer is convenient.

I'll probably only start swapping it in when I'm forced to use software without proper text navigation capabilities and use caps as a different modifier (probably control which I'd use in some cases to do similar things as the Extend layer but with program-specific remappings). At this point, I've pretty much managed to completely get rid of the need for my "Extend" layer. I like the idea of putting shift on LALt I'll probably try that out at some point. You could even map it so an easier key (instead of Extend-Q) if you felt the Q was not worthy enough. But I also concur with DreymaR's suggestion that having Escape in the Extend layer is still very convenient. Using this method would allow you to keep Esc on CapsLock if you wanted. I much prefer Extend on that key, but there are other possibilities. I use the DreymaR's method of defining the level 5 modifier on CapsLock, but simply map CapsLock to LAlt using keycodes. Yes, what I do (on Linux) is just remap the keycodes for the modifier keys I want to change. Only just noticed this as I was on holiday :) I find it nearly as easy as tapping Caps, and far more robust. In practice, Caps+Q works perfectly for me at least. Therefore, both Caps+Q (for quick one-handed action) and Caps+[ are Esc in my Extend setup. I respect the Esc a lot, as my Extend Extreme topic hopefully shows. However, I find it easier to just use the Extend layer as-is. Then, you'll get Esc from the Caps+AltGr combo. What I'd do would be to not care about the last four levels (as they require another lv5 chooser) but map lv3–4 of the CapsLock key to 'Escape' instead of 'ISO_Level5_Shift'. But for something like you describe it might work well enough. I personally don't trust such mappings for common keys at least, as they lead to misfires. Several users want on-release mappings but I don't think xkb supports that out of the box.

You're free to edit the symbols/lv5 file to produce whatever you desire of course. If it acts like a lock upon tapping, that's a bug in Slackware. But that means you have to have another lv5 chooser defined which most people don't bother with.

When pressed together with another lv5 chooser, it'll lock the level5 like a CapsLock. What this is supposed to do, is act like a switch when pressed, like a Shift key.
