<Microsoft's PowerToys>

You can use PowerToys' Keyboard Manager to easily remap the keys. Download the tool from their [[https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases][github]] page and install it. Then open the powertoys settings (you sould find it in the taskbar), go to keyboard manager, enable it if it isn't already enabled and remap your keys. Once finished you should see something like:

=Caps Lock= ➞ =Ctrl (Left)=

=Ctrl (left)= ➞ =Caps Lock=

Thankfully Apple saw fit to make this a first-class option in macOS. You can follow the [[https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/change-the-behavior-of-the-modifier-keys-mchlp1011/mac][official documentation]] for your version of macOS to find the Modifier Keys settings and then switch Caps Lock to Control on that page.
