One more (semi-)Vim-related link. I meant to demo this during the
presentation but it skipped my mind.

Xcape [1] is a tiny X11 utility that runs in the background to
intercept keypresses. If you press and release Control it fires an
Escape instead. If you hold Control and press another key it fires
Ctrl-<key> as normal.

If you have Caps Lock mapped to Control it is a great way to overload
that incredibly valuable keyboard real-estate. And, referencing that
image of the keyboard vi was developed on, it makes Vim oh so much
nicer to use.  :-)
