Caps-lock escape

So I've been using vim for awhile now and finally changed my caps-lock to be my escape key instead of using Ctrl-[ which is just too painful a keystroke. I used was using that keyboard combination instead of the normal escape key because the normal escape key is way up in top left corner :0 Who ever would have put it up there? I guess the escape key used to be decently located on very old systems which is why it is being used for vim. Using the caps-lock key now I can change modes with one key, suitably located. Ahhhhh, that feels better.
