AutoHotkey script to map Caps Lock to Escape when it's pressed on its own and Ctrl when used in combination with another key, à la Steve Losh. Adapted from one that does something similar with the Ctrl Key on the Vim Tips Wiki (http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Map_caps_lock_to_escape_in_Windows?oldid=32281). (Plus contribs from @randy909 & @mmikeww.)
g_LastCtrlKeyDownTime := 0
g_AbortSendEsc := false
g_ControlRepeatDetected := false
*CapsLock::
if (g_ControlRepeatDetected)
{
return

Motivation

  • expression-oriented programming one of the great advances of FP
  • expressions plug together like legos, making more malleable programming experience in-the-small

Examples

Write in an expression-oriented style, scoping variables as locally as possible:
