I want to just clarify one more thing: is=20 moving the modifier keys (control, meta, shift, etc.) is something that=20 needs to be done outside of emacs? I know that swapping caps lock and=20 control needs to be done at the desktop level, but it's not clear to me=20 whether that's because of the special nature of caps lock or the special=20 nature of the control key (or both).
