> 1. remap `caps lock` to `ESC`: goes without saying for vim, but extremely useful in other situations too (like playing starcraft and de-selecting units)

Or to Control, if you're an Emacs user. I've even seen some people remap a tap on it to ESC, and holding it down to Control, to cater to both needs.

vim user here. I map mine to Control because ESC is a simple C-] away and Ctrl is so much more useful outside of just vim.
