ModifierFlag::OPTION_L | ModifierFlag::SHIFT_L | ModifierFlag::CONTROL_L, but, when pressed alone, F19 sends only escape This remaps F19 to "Hyper" aka Cmd-Shift-Ctrl-Alt. ModifierFlag::OPTION_L | ModifierFlag::SHIFT_L | ModifierFlag::CONTROL_LĬaps Lock should be remapped to F19 (80) in PCKBH This maps Left Control to Control + Shift + Option + Command. Simply put, the previous article recommends adding this to KR4MB's 'private.xml' file: This diverges sharply from the original topic of "map stuff in vim," and for that I apologize, but I hope to leave this in posterity for the one poor soul that needs this.

The documentation leaves much to be desired, but I was able to piece together a solution in line with my original question. One of the applications discussed in the OP's link, KeyRemap4MacBook, is highly extensible. Turns out, while the answers provided above were great, on point, and informative, I just don't like being told 'no.' And I was searching for answers in the wrong problem space.

I wanted to Vim to read Caps Lock as Esc (while still maintaining the other crazy system-level modifications), so I asked about functionality that Vim doesn't have. Instead of asking about X, you ask about Y. You want to do X, and you think Y is the best way of doing so. My original question suffers as an XY Problem. The Alt key is not really a working solution because of how many terminal emulators deal with it and the Cmd key is Mac-only and only works in MacVim anyway.Īt that point, if you are ready to mash four keys together to emulate the function of only one key (which in itself is rather silly), you might as well simply use which, AFAIK, works everywhere. That means that, if the terminal doesn't eat them up (which it does), you can only do or. It won't register more than one modifier with a normal key. The Shift, Alt, Cmd and Ctrl keys don't do anything on their own and Vim rightfully does nothing but wait for further keypresses when you hit them.Īdditionnaly, Vim's input mechanism is a bit "old school", most probably to keep it consistent over the multiple platforms it may run on. "Modifiers" are called "modifiers" for a reason: they are used with normal keys to "modify" their meaning.
