I’m still amazed that keyboards still have the Caps Lock key and worse that it’s in the home row of typing. These little hacks will convert that key to a more useful CTRL key.
apt-get install keyboard-configuration console-setup
In the file /etc/default/keyboard
XKBOPTIONS="ctrl:nocaps"
Open Powershell as admin and enter the following
$hexified = "00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,1d,00,3a,00,00,00,00,00".Split(',') | % { "0x$_"};
$kbLayout = 'HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout';
New-ItemProperty -Path $kbLayout -Name "Scancode Map" -PropertyType Binary -Value ([byte[]]$hexified);
