Swap Control and Caps Lock on the 2005 Powerbooks
Authored by: afn on May 03, '05 05:17:47PM

I just found out about "modifier keys" options, and I'm super happy about it-- I'm perfectly fine with ctrl either in the 'correct' place (next to the A) or in the 'standard' place (lower-left corner), but I absolutely can't stand the Powerbook layout which has Fn in the corner and makes Ctrl impossible to find :-)

That said, there seems to be a bug in this feature: the caps lock light is still toggled when I hit the caps lock key, regardless of what it's mapped to. Even worse, if I map another key -- say, the ctrl key -- to Caps Lock, it DOES toggle caps lock, but doesn't turn the light on.

Can it really be that the caps lock light is hardware-controlled?! Or is this just a stupid bug in the keyboard driver? Anyone know of any workaround? Anyone else have this problem? I've got a brand spanking new 12" Powerbook...
