Having used a lisp machine for over 2 years, I've grown accustomed to a particular key layout: 1) parentheses on the bracket keys, 2) control key left of the space bar, and 3) rubout below the tab, where the caps lock is. I've solved #1 by editing the KCHR resource in the system file, swapping parens with brackets and #2 by editing the KMAP resource, swapping virtual key codes of control key with clover key. I've only made it halfway with #3. I changed the virtual key code of the caps lock key to 33 (the delete key), but I believe the problem is that the caps lock key does not generate a key down event. Is there a map of keys that generate a key down event or is it strictly a hardware interrupt that is defined by the keyboard? Also, I would like to swap the physical keys on the keyboard, but I don't want to break anything. Do the caps pull off easily, or do I have to desolder the entire module off the board?

Is there a simple way of remapping characters to different keys on the keyboard? Thanks, -Bill
