We could be more bold, without overriding existing key combinations, and remap the CapsLock key (which most people don’t use) to a modifier key and use that per default. It’s what I’m doing :-)
If you remap CapsLock away in OSX (as I do) then it also doesn't work (doesn't generate events at all) in X11.app. (It might be possible to change this by telling X11.app not to sync keymaps, but judging by the odd interactions I've seen in mouse event mapping I suspect this would cause even more "interesting" behaviors. :) -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
