Swapping Caps Lock and Super

In honor of my hatred for the Caps Lock key, I would like to make it more useful. As of now it serves to annoy me when I accidentally press it. I am using a Model M, and as such I have no Super key. Right now I have Caps Lock entirely disabled with xmodmap -e, but how can I turn it into the Super key?

Re: Swapping Caps Lock and Super

make an xmodmap configfile with this command:

xmodmap -pke > /home/YOURUSERNAME/.xmodmaprc

then edit that file (you can get the keycodes of the keys by running "xev" in a terminal and pressing the key)
It's really obvious how to change the file, you'll see!

then run the following command and let it be run at every startup:

xmodmap .xmodmaprc
