I swap caps and esc, but yeah, caps should really be control, and tab should be escape.
I guess tab could go up in the corner where escape usually lives, but that breaks tab completion a little.

@rl_dane@polymaths.social I really think that caps lock should have been a top-row key. (Although I get the historical reasons, involving and the original shift lock key placement. It physically held down shift, right? [Anyone on the #typewriters tag know?] ) I LOVE what Apple did to the Esc key, making it the size of Tab. I think if the Esc key were this large, putting it at the top-left feels right for the semantics of a 'back'/'cancel' button. I get Vim/Vi users might not like that though 😀 #keyboards
