don’t forget Mac users too have the most useless key on their keyboards, man the repetitve strain injury was too much. Class action suit is in order.

for macs try KeyRemap4MacBook or DoubleCommand (but not both) and even mac users can finally have a useful key.

Mine is remapped to DELETE, ahh the comfort of having one of my most useful key at my finger tips.. Great.!

I “remaped” my Capslock key to the Command key under Mac OS X. Dead simple to do though, no messing around with any config files or xmodmap. Its available as an option in System Preferences under Mac OS X.

My keyboard has all kinds of annoying keys on it. For example, I have a $ key above the right arrow and a Ã¢â€šÂ¬ key above the left arrow that I am always hitting by accident.
