If you can use autohotkey paste this into your autohotkey script, it will only
replace caps lock for esc in vim and a few other apps:

; use shift+capslock for the default capslock
+Capslock::Capslock

#IfWinActive, ahk_class Vim
*CapsLock::Esc
#IfWinActive, ahk_class mintty
*CapsLock::Esc
#IfWinActive, ahk_class VanDyke Software - SecureCRT
*CapsLock::Esc
#IfWinActive
