Dear Kashyap, I have mapped Capslock to Control - which is very easy to do on the Mac: System Preferences, Keyboard, Modifier Keys (bottom right on the keyboard tab) - and find that more convenient than using the original Control key on any other keyboard I have used before. But this is a matter of taste to some degree, of course. Warm regards, Stefan On 08.07.2011, at 06:59, C K Kashyap wrote: > Thanks Jai ...
