Trust me you want to do this:
#!/bin/bash
# Remap Caps Lock to F11
xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = F11"
xmodmap -e "clear Lock"

What you really want to do is to use a custom mechanical keyboard with QMK firmware so you can spend $500 to remove the capslock key from your key layout. It will also save you room in your .bashrc file (SSDs are not cheap, ya know).

Tap/hold esc/caps for the win!

Remap it to escape if you're a vim user.

I remapped the capslock key to be third level shift ³ or fourth level ¼ if used with normal shift and in the unlikely scenario where I need capslock, I hit both shifts at the same time to toggle it. Now I can do all sorts of neat symbols! ∞÷⍉±0≠¡⍶⍹⍷§⌾M€⍥

Mine is remapped to Ctrl since I use that way more often.
