  • Yes - to nothing/no action
  • Yes - to Control
  • Yes - to Option
  • Yes - to Command
  • Yes - to Globe
  • Yes - to Escape
  • Yes - to Back Space

I have no idea what Globe is btw, just seen it in the macOS options:

My Caps Lock was for changing input sources, after reading this post, I moved it to the globe key and remapped Caps Lock to Escape instead.
