Remapping keyboard keys in Mac OSX

Use KeyRemap4MacBook to remap keys on your OSX keyboard.

It'll enable "FN + Numpad" by default. What I would really like is a way to do "Left/Up/Down/Right" without using the arrow cursor which forces my hand to shift down the keyboard too much. The utility provides a "Vi Mode" where you can map "FN + hjkl" for Left/Up/Down/Right.

To change CapsLock to Escape you need to download another utility from the website.
