I remapped Capslock to:

"Ctrl if it's held down and pressed with another key, Escape if it's pressed and released on its own."

It works really nicely once you get used to it.

EDIT:

To do that I first mapped Capslock to Ctrl using the normal Apple Keyboard prefs, then used KeyRemap4MacBook and checked this setting: http://i.imgur.com/99cNs.png

I could definitely get used to that. Did you remap that in vim itself, or from your operating system?

How did you get your operating system to do that?
