I have been using super-caps for some time to remap Caps to be Escape or Control if pressed together with something else. https://github.com/cmatheson/super-caps I must admit, on my computer I'm super productive. My left hand isn't moving at all and my left's pinkie feels relieved because it doesn't have to bend to Control key. On other computers I'm totally screwed. As OP mentioned before, I have ruined my muscle memory.
