Why do my Caps-Lock, Num-Lock, Scroll-Lock keys act funny?

Synergy Frequently Asked Questions
Some systems treat the Caps-Lock, Num-Lock, and Scroll-Lock keys differently than all the others. Whereas most keys report going down when physically pressed and going up when physically released, on these systems the Caps-Lock and Num-Lock keys report going down when being activated and going up when being deactivated. That is, when you press and release, say, Caps-Lock to activate it, it only reports going down, and when you press and release to deactivate it, it only reports going up.

Question How do I swap the Caps Lock and Control keys?

Linux FAQ
Note: this only works in the console, not in X Windows. First, understand that when init runs, it defines and loads the keyboard layout by looking in setup files or its own init scripts. Since init scripts vary from distribution to distribution, you'll have to do some detective work to find out how it works on your system. For Red Hat systems, the keyboard layout files are in the /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty directory (assuming you're on a PC and using a standard keyboard).

How do I swap the CAPS LOCK and CONTROL keys on a sun keyboard?

SunManagers Frequently Asked Questions
Margarita Suarez <marg at manila dot cc dot columbia dot edu> suggests editing $OPENWINHOME/etc/keytables/US5.kt. There are two places where keys 119 (CapsLock) and 76 (Control) should be swapped: the MODMAP section and the KEYSYMMAP section. The latter is most important, because that's where the "Pseudo-Lock" function (which controls the locking behaviour of the key) is defined.
