Surround has a philosophy of being very « vim-like »—it uses operators to work on objects, much like many of vim’s most powerful normal mode constructs. I would argue that it is not what some expect because they expect an auto-pairs-like experience that they are used to from other editors, or because they are still learning about normal-mode and the many ...

You can use a user defined complete function to implement this kind of custom completion.
See :help complete-function for how to write such a function.

function! CompleteLine(...

" if cursor was on a space, return 1 <C-y>
if rest_of_line[0] == ' '

As already mentioned, remapping of CAPSLOCK to ESC and CTRL requires additional SW. For me, this is not an issue and I'm enjoying this mapping a lot! This is how I did it:
Remap CAPSLOCK to ESC and CTRL on Windows
If you want to remap CAPSLOCK to both
to ESC (when pressed alone)
to CTRL (when pressed with other keys)
you can use this little piece of open ...
