Re: universal key binding

Put this into ~/.Xmodmap (straight from xmodmap manpage):

remove Lock = Caps_Lock
remove Control = Control_L
keysym Control_L = Caps_Lock
keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L
add Lock = Caps_Lock
add Control = Control_L

then add this line into ~/.xinitrc (if it's not already there) before the 'exec your_wm' line:

xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap &
