Quite possibly ... there seem to be so many habits - a testament to the
flexibility of the platform we use. It is so long since I mapped
CapsLock to Escape in X, that I now have to do it on any machine I use,
or chaos reigns. Doing it in X means that the mapping works everywhere,
even in firefox. Since I generally don't shout, either in emails or
anywhere else, it is rare that I need more than one capital letter at
the time - but if I do, then there is ^F, which CAPITALISES the word
before the cursor, while in insert mode. So who needs CapsLock?
