1.509: How do I switch the control and caps lock key bindings?

If you are running the X window system, you can put the following into
.xmodmaprc

  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

Hidden Hint: Use (xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1") to make the mouse
lefty friendly.
