  • You can't do it from within Vim because it doesn't "get" the Caps Lock key. But you can probably remap that key to some other key system-wide and use that key to create a mapping in Vim. But we don't even know what OS you use.

The Caps Lock is a special key; it cannot be mapped in Vim itself. But if you use operating system-specific means / tools to remap that key to another (unused, e.g. <F13>, which rarely exists on a keyboard) one, you can use that key in an ordinary Vim mapping.
