This global script causes CapsLock to work like Insert as a modifier key.
It may be particularly helpful when using Window-Eyes with a laptop
keyboard, since CapsLock may be substituted for Insert in hotkeys that are
otherwise the same, rather than using significantly different hotkey
assignments.  The Insert key may still be used as before, so you may
choose whichever key is easier to press in particular combinations,
whether on a laptop or desktop computer.

The original CapsLock functionality is available by adding the Shift
modifier to that key, i.e., via the Shift-Caps combination.  For maximum
compatibility with Window-Eyes, the Right Control key is also remapped to
work like the Left Control key.  To stop remapping, unload the script and
restart Windows.

Thanks go to Jared Wright and Darrell Shandrow for ideas that led to this
script, which uses AutoHotkey from
http://AutoHotkey.com

The script requires GW Toolkit 5.5 and Homer Shared Object 2.1 (or above).
