[comp.windows.ms] *sigh* caps-lock and cntrl

mjh@zurich.ai.mit.edu (Mark Hood) (06/27/91)

I didn't see this in the FAQ, so here goes.

I have the infamous "enhanced" 101-key IBM keyboard with the caps-lock and
control keys in the wrong places.  In the PCDOS world I've dealt with it by
using a tiny TSR that listens to the keyboard; in the X11-unix world I just
modifiy the keymap.  But now that I'm using Windows 3.0 as well my left hand
is going into spasms.

Does anybody have any suggestions?  I know there are replacement keyboards
available that have switchable caps-lock and control keys, but I'd rather
not shell out the bucks if there is something more reasonable to do.  Info:
IBM PS/2 Model 80 12Meg 8514/a running DOS 5.0, Windows 3.0.

Thanks!
