I was born in the Mac era, but when they still printed the Apple glyph on the Command key. Therefore, I still call it the "Apple key."
I also took inspiration from ChromeOS's replacement of Caps with Search (and a popular article from that era about the history of the hyper key), and rebound Caps to be Escape. I hardly ever use the actual escape key (which is handy on a 60 key board, because they that's just the `/~ key).
Escape (Caps) by itself is Escape. Esc+A is opens the search (goto file/line/etc. in a text editor). Esc+S is the Command Palette in apps that have one.
Very handy to be able to chord keys right next to each other!
It’s always nice when it’s supported directly in Linux distros but sometimes have to remap it with config files or a helper tool.
On my MacBook I use Alfred now for search and Win11Debloat for Windows which ensures apps load near instantly when typing.
I started out using Karabiner, but then when Apple added support to natively rebind Escape, it made that an easy choice.
Works great in Sublime. Have this request open for Ghostty:

On Linux, there's xremap. It lets you remap key chords on a per-app basis. I'm using it to use Apple-style Command shortcuts with Chrome for Linux:
