We could bind it to C-S-k, if there are no objections. I personally do not use the Caps Lock key and nobody I know does. However, keyboard manufacturers seem to have the irresistible urge to put a Caps Lock key on their products. Is the intent merely to make sure that their customers understand the importance of xmodmap or are there people actually using that key? In the latter case, they would probably not like the C-S-k binding. Sincerely, Luc.
