I'm using this app to remap Caps Lock to Escape on my Asus transformer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apedroid.hwkeyboardhelper

I'm using VimTouch on an HTC One smartphone. I use a Mac bluetooth keyboard so I can type and edit text files at pretty much the same speed as on my computer when I need to. On my computer I always remap Caps Lock to send an Escape signal, which makes mode shifting so much faster because Caps lock is so close to the home row.
This remapping is a little problematic, even on a PC, because Caps lock doesn't handle input like other keys. I've accomplished it on Windows with AutoHotkey and on Linux with a custom Xmodmap file.
But it gets worse, because now my muscle memory is to hit caps lock when I want to exit insert mode. In VimTouch, this inevitably enables caps lock and causes all sorts of problems due to momentary confusion.
