This comment spurred me to do something similar with AutoHotkey on Windows. I had mapped capslock to ctrl but never actually got in the habit of using it, but as a fresh meta key is actually very useful.
I focused on the keys I find most annoying, because I have a short pinky.
I'll probably add some more as I get used to it, it would be cool to be able to avoid the awkward shift+num-row-key altogether. Guess there is a blog post to write later...
Forgot to say - those combinations are for Colemak. If you are using qwerty, replace the <x> letters in "CapsLock & <x>::" lines with what you have on qwerty.
