Switching Caps Lock with Control on Windows

Getting the control key “back into the right spot” on PC keyboards is a goal shared between Emacs and UNIX folks. The following are a collection of links on how to do so (this list is sure to grow):

• GNU Emacs FAQ For Windows 95/98/ME/NT/XP and 2000 (thanks Trey)
• Sysinternals Ctrl2Cap (thanks kiwlm)

The Sysinternals solution is excellent, but it throws away caps lock. This was fine for me for a while, but believe it or not, now I need it back. As such, I now employ the solution found here.

This approach does not work on Windows 7 (I just started using Win7 this week).
KeyMapper works brilliantly though.

Coming back to Windows I found that KeyMapper quit working for me.

AutoHotkey seems to be doing the job of swapping:

• caps lock with left control
• left control with caps lock
• enter with right control
• right shift with enter
  • Seems to be the best way to use any keyboard out there
• scroll up and down on the wheel mouse

Alt (Meta) - Enter doesn’t seem to work.

I’ll keep at it. Here is the config.

WheelUp::
Send {WheelDown}
Return
WheelDown::
Send {WheelUp}
Return
Capslock::Ctrl
LCtrl::CapsLock
Enter::RCtrl
RShift::Enter
