Mapping CTRL to Capslock

[longweight]

Hi all,

I've really taken to the switched control and capslock option on my Poker and the control position on the HHKB. What would be the best way to make this happen on my Filco TKL at home?

Thanks

Autohotkey!

I put this in my script to do it. It changes Capslock into the Left  Control button. It also makes Alt+Shift activate capslock. Just made more sense to me that way.

Capslock::LCtrl
!Shift::Capslock

If you just wanted to swap capslock and left control then use this:

Capslock::LCtrl
LCtrl::Capslock

Thanks! Is that all that I have to put into an Autohotkey script?

Bah, do it at the system level, just add this in your registry...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,3A,00,1D,00,1D,00,3A,00,00,00,00,00

Yep!

God I love AHK, I use it a TON at work. I have a general script for functions I use a lot, on the turns caps lock into another layer and one that detects with AutoCAD is open so that caps lock is always on when AutoCAD is in use, but always off it anything else is running

Seconded for Autohotkey. Don't think I could live without it. Although now with an 87u both at home and at work I might just use the hardware dip switches.

What's a good way to do this in linux, Edit the language layout file?

 To use xmodmap you might have to switch the keyboard layout to something that uses layers extensively (like bepo), or you might not be able to map every layer on every key.

I used a program called Keytweak on Windows XP. Worked like a charm.
