And lastly, again from the pre meeting and dinner, you can turn your Caplock into another modifier key that you can use for shortcuts instead of just MAKING YOU SOUND LIKE A CRAZY PERSON ON THE INTERNET.

Create a file called .Xmodmap in your home directory and make it contain:

! No Caps Lock
clear lock
! Caps Lock as Hyper key (doesn't exist on most keyboards)
keycode 0x42 = Hyper_L
remove mod4 = Hyper_L
remove mod3 = Hyper_L
add mod3 = Hyper_L

Then run "xmodmap .Xmodmap" and it will take. When X starts it will load this file for you by default, so you only need to do this if you don't want to log out and back in again the first time you change it.
