Using Emacs since 1996.
;; I map the useless caps lock key to SUPER. Key chords with ;; SUPER+right hand key become very comfortable and should be used for ;; the most often used functions. This allows me to leave all ;; standard Emacs keybindings as they are and still define ;; easy-to-reach chords with a more sensible geometric layout, for ;; example the following point movement commands: (global-set-key [(super i)] 'previous-line) (global-set-key [(super u)] 'next-line) (global-set-key [(super shift i)] 'scroll-down) (global-set-key [(super shift u)] 'scroll-up) (global-set-key [(super j)] 'backward-char) (global-set-key [(super k)] 'forward-char) (global-set-key [(super shift j)] 'backward-word) (global-set-key [(super shift k)] 'forward-word) ;; Sometimes, it seems reasonable to duplicate standard Emacs CTRL key ;; bindings with SUPER as the modifier: (global-set-key [(super ?\s)] 'set-mark-command) (global-set-key [(super a)] 'move-beginning-of-line) (global-set-key [(super e)] 'move-end-of-line)
At work, I have to use Windows. EmacsW32 makes life easier. To remap the caps lock key to super (or what is called the “Application” key in Windows terminology) I use the following registry entry:
REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout] "Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,5d,e0,3a,00,00,00,00,00
