I just replaced the original keyboard for my Sperry (Unisys?) IT.
The new keyboard is a no-name AT 'enhanced' with the gawd-aweful
CAPS-LOCK placement (where any sane person would look for a control
key ;-)
My question is: is there any way to reassign (switch) the
functionality of Caps-lock and Ctrl keys without resorting
to hardware hacking ( I'm a elec. engr. but dont relish the
though of cracking open my brand new keyboard and slicing
traces (ick!) )
I'm running 2.3.0-L and HAVE read the setkey() command, but couldn't
find any mention of the caps-lock scan-code. Neither does the
keyboard manual mention any such trick.
Thanx for the help,
(lets see if this article get re-posted 15 times!)
