I wrote wrong, the minimal config is:

return { ["i|<capslock>"] = map_cmd("<Esc>"):with_noremap():with_desc(""), }

You'd better remap them using your OS, this work should not be done by nvim.

I use ahk script is:

#SingleInstance, Force SetCapsLockState, AlwaysOff CapsLock::Esc

But it is only no response in neovim

[ayamir]

Use https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys instead.

It is also not work, but thank you anyway for your response.
And I found that it is Neovim's bug: neovim/neovim#8187

[Ridge Ge]

I found a useful way eventually.
And it works well!
