here's one example that drove me up the wall:
== swapping ctrl/caps lock ==
* on osx *
http://ella.slis.indiana.edu/~jfieber/osx/ http://ella.slis.indiana.edu/~jfieber/osx/ -- i believe i ended up using ucontrol.
* on ubuntu *
go to System/Settings/Keyboard Preferences
(xmodmap is still there if you're so inclined)
also, off the top of my head, it was a pain to:
1. add widgets to the menubar (on ubuntu i just add it)
2. rsync backups to an openbsd server because of the hfs+ tags
3. changing the buttons in Mail.app -- they were horrible
4. shutting down spotlight (can't even remember that one)
5. verbose booting
6. and my personal favorite: getting a cd out of the player when the power is off.
There are answers, I'm sure, to all these questions but you have to figure it out.

- whatever 19y agoOr go to the Keyboard system prefs and click on Modifier Keys.
- utx00 19y agoi mean, exchange the behaviour of the caps lock key with that of the control key. ucontrol, and fkeys let you do that. both seem to be unmaitained though.
- gcv 19y agoThe Keyboard prefpane trivially lets you map the Caps Lock key to Control. I used that setup for a long time. Are you actually asking to keep Caps Lock around but map it to Control? I guess that really is tricky, but it never occurred to me as useful, because I never use Caps Lock, so I just happily have two Control keys.
- brent 19y agoIs that url your page?
- utx00 19y agono. i just found that whilst looking for ucontrol. should have made that clearer.
