> the article actually suggestes swapping the caps lock key and the ctrl key to have it better positioned for emacs use... I'd argue that this is ergonmically essential for long-term emacs use, otherwise you run the risk of 'emacs claw'. Took me less than a week to get used to it. If you regularly use other people's machines then it's not a good idea (but then, neither is emacs unless you are carrying around your .emacs file, since you'll miss all your personal keybindings).
