On my Linux setup, specially with vim/neovim, I have:
CapsLock and L Control keys swapped;
If CapsLock (physical key location) is pressed for less than ~300ms, then it is not mapped to L Control, but to Escape instead.
Or, in other words:
L Ctrl maps to CapsLock
CapsLock maps to:
L Ctrl if pressed for longer than 300ms;
Escape otherwise.
This allows me to quickly enter normal mode (nvim), cancel things, etc., with little movement from my left hand (and since a lot of keyboard shortcuts use Ctrl key, it is very useful to have Escape in the same place). Having this on Windows as well would be an awesome Windows experience.
