Having used a lisp machine for over 2 years, I've grown accustomed to a
particular key layout:  1) parentheses on the bracket keys, 2) control key
left of the space bar, and 3) rubout below the tab, where the caps lock is.

I've solved #1 by editing the KCHR resource in the system file, swapping
parens with brackets and #2 by editing the KMAP resource, swapping virtual
key codes of control key with clover key.  I've only made it halfway with #3.
I changed the virtual key code of the caps lock key to 33 (the delete key), but
I believe the problem is that the caps lock key does not generate a key down
event.

Is there a map of keys that generate a key down event or is it strictly a
hardware interrupt that is defined by the keyboard?  Also, I would like to
swap the physical keys on the keyboard, but I don't want to break anything.
Do the caps pull off easily, or do I have to desolder the entire module off
the board?

Thanks,
