In case your next question is, "How do I do that", then for X you add (or uncomment): XkbOptions "ctrl:swapcaps" in the Keyboard section of /etc/XF86Config, and for the console, swap the entries for 029 and 058 in /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/ or change the 058 line to be all ``lctrl'' to make both keys Ctrl (no Caps Lock key). I notice that there are some new keymap files with ``-ctrl'' in their name which does the latter of these, but I don't know when they were introduced. > jcm > -- > "I drank WHAT ?!" - Socrates > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- 4.4 - The number of the Beastie ________________________________________________________________ 51.44°N FreeBSD - The Power To Serve http://www.freebsd.org 2.057°W My Webpage http://ukug.uk.freebsd.org/~mark mailto:marko@freebsd.org http://www.radan.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
