Stephen Foskett, Pack Rat: Command and Control: The Clash of Keyboards

  • nileshk · 8 months ago
    Regarding the 101-key, rather than living without the Control, why not just remap Caps Lock to Control? Or alternatively remap Caps Lock to Command, and leave Control as Control. You'll lose the Caps Lock key, but I think its worth sacrificing. I did something similar with my old Thinkpad T23 (mapped Caps Lock to the Windows key).

    Personally, I use Unicomp's Model M keyboards, which have a 104-key layout, and am pretty happy with them (though I don't recommend their pointing stick model, their pointing stick just doesn't match IBM's). I don't have access to any original IBM Model M's to compare them to, though.

    In the end, I actually did decide to leave control as control and use caps lock as option. Door number three?
