where can I find vim editor key list?

I am currently using vim editor and want to customize my keys

I have learned how to map certain keys to keys by searching documentations,

but failed to find how the special keys are defined in vim.

for example, I have to use map <Esc> <CR> instead of map esc enter

I want to change ctrl key to caps lock key, but cannot find how that special keys are represented in vim editor.

Also want to change :w to something.

failed to find recommended documentations, some advice would be appreciated!

You can find all special Key notations by entering :h key-notation. :h key-codes or :h keycodes.

But Vim will not receive the press of a key Like Capslock or Ctrl (Modifiers). The OS does not pass it to vim. Vim will only know about Ctrl the moment a second key is pressed, and receive the result of them both: Ctrl+p for example is one keypress for vim.

It is the same with Capslock. Vim will just receive the modified Character. So if Capslock is on and you press a vim will not receive Capslock+a but only A because that is the result of both.
