Total Control Exchange (No Caps Lock)

Have you ever wondered why Caps Lock, a key you press twice a decade (once to turn it on by accident and then to turn it off), is in such a lucrative position on the keyboard? And what about Ctrl? It’s miles away compared to Caps Lock. If you think about it old Unix keyboards with those keys swapped seem to got it right.
I’ve gone one step further and recommend turning Caps Lock into Ctrl key altogether. In this article I will describe how to do that in various systems and platforms. But lets start with some propaganda.
