uControl: Gimme Back My Control Key!

Ever since I bought my Powerbook the stupid Caps Lock key was driving me mad. When I work on my Linux workstation I use a Avant Stellar keyboard which allows me to remap and physically swap the Caps Lock and Ctrl key. Today I discovered uControl and it works like a charm! It let's me remap Caps Lock and Ctrl key on my Powerbook.

Lately I've been typing a lot on the Symbolics keyboard. Maybe I should add a feature to swap Caps Lock and Backspace keys to uControl. My left pinky is constantly searching for the Rubout key.

If you think about it, the correct mapping in the lower left corner of a Powerbook should read "Hyper, Super, Meta, Control".

I like uControl, but my iBook has an ADB keyboard that doesn't send CapsLock events in a sane way. uControl works around it, mostly, but sometimes it gets stuck and I have to tap CapsLock a few times. It gets annoying after a while.
