\_ I have a slight problem. As everyone knows the best M$ products are \_ hardware and with this thought I am using M$ natural keyboard. \_ I like the design (It could use some improvements). \_ \_ My question is: \_ \_ How can I remap Control key to be in place of Caps Lock? under linux it's a standard trick with xmodmap. see the man page. xmodmap rocks...it also lets you use the ugly windows key if you play with it right. under windows....um, um, get a programmable kbd like the Gateway 2000 AnyKey (which the pinheads have stopped manufacturing grrr!). The one I have at home has the *kbd* doing the remapping of ctl & caps lock. Also, one set of the f11/f12 buttons is bound to ctrl-alt-kpd+ and ctrl-alt-kpd- . Locally, on a keyboard that has had the windows key remapped to mod4/hyper, it's bound to a small program that runs when the window manager sees ctrl-alt-hyper-shift-button4 and -button5 (the mouse wheel. \_ I need to have this working on Linux and Winblows. \_ p.s. \_ I have great Idea for a cool keyboard design, but I do not know \_ how I can get someone to make one (a prototype) any ideas on this one?? On this topic, I want a cheap but sturdy split keyboard (ie: two physical pieces). All the ones I have seen so far run like $300 or so, and that's a bit much. David
