Modifying CAPS LOCK in XFree


Hi,

First off, I would like to say that whoever invented the Caps Lock should be shot. Why is it so big? Why is it right where I keep hitting it accidentally?

Of course, turning it off and making it be a shift key is easy - we say:

xmodmap -e 'clear lock' -e 'add shift = Caps_Lock'

But now on the rare occasions I do want it, the facility is lost! What I really want is for Ctrl+Caps, and only this combination, to toggle the lock. Any ideas? I'm using XFree 4.3 so I can use all the new Xkb options, but trying to make sense of them makes my head spin.

Thanks - TIM
