Caps_Lock should be mapped to Control_L so you can type it in the home row with less stress to the hand/fingers. (no twisting) Additionally, one of the better changes I made years ago was mapping redundant/useless modifiers to the bucky bits[1] in my ~/.Xmodmap. Phys Key | New Modifier Mapping ----------------------------------- CapsLock | Control Alt_L | Meta Alt_R | Alt (mod4) Win_L | Super (mod3) Win_R | Hyper (mod5) To my surprise, quite a few programs support the higher modifier bits.
