  8. graysky answered: One of the first things I do on a new Mac. I map CAPS LOCK to ⌘ (command). Really needed it when I used Emacs more and the chorded key-combos
  9. andywellis answered: Google remapped it for me on the Cr-48, changed to “Search” and I’d say it’s more useful.
  10. langer said: …or by “remap it to [disappearing unescaped html entities]” I meant the control key.
  11. langer answered: Anyone who spends any amount of time on the command line would be well served to remap it to , old school Sun style.
  12. gsiener answered: No. But it’s a good reminder!
