Description Renato Botelho 2007-12-26 06:52:51 UTC

For vi users is not cool to press ESC everytime to go to command mode, and, caps lock is a key that a lot of people don't use so much. Since we have option t swap ctrl and caps, option to disable caps, i created one for me to swap caps and escape, a lot of friends of mine are using it today and we would like, if it's possible, to see it committed on oficial tree, because all of us need to patch rules/base and symbols/capslock everytime we install or upgrade xorg.

We agree that it could be useful for a lot of users. Patch can be found here:

I have nothing against the whole idea but the patch is not correct. It should not patch rules/base, but rules/base.o_s.part instead. Also, the change for rules/base.xml.in is missing

Sorry about bad patch, i have no experience with xorg stuffs. Here is a new patch touching files you told, if it has problems too, just let me know.
