CTRL2CAPS June 1996 NOTE: With the recent release by Microsoft of its "Kernel Toys", which includes a similar, and more general, key-swapping capability, you might prefer to use the Microsoft utility: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/software/krnltoy.htm CTRL2CAPS.VXD is device driver that swaps the Caps Lock and Left Ctrl keys on the PC keyboard in Windows 95, for use by those who prefer to have the Control key just left of the A key, rather than its present placement on PC keyboards, which is not handy for touch typists. This is the second version of CTRL2CAPS, which adds the option to swap the Esc and accent grave (`) keys: To enable the escape/accent grave switching, put the following lines in system.ini (anywhere): [ctrl2cap] escape=TRUE This version changes caps-lock into control, but not vice versa (neither myself, nor any UNIX programmer I know ever use Caps Lock). CTRL2CAPS.VXD was tested within the Kermit Project for several months with no visible ill effects, but it is provided with no guarantees of any kind -- USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
