I have a problem with the shift keys, and I would like to be able to swap the shift keys with the caps lock key. I didn't find any utility that would permit me to do that; the only solution I have is to create a kext.

My question is the following: Why doesn't exist a kext to do that already? I found DoubleCommand, but between all the possible swaps it can do, there isn't the one I need. Are there any limitations that don't allow to create a kext for the purpose I described?

Have you tried this one?

Thank you, Ken. I checked that utility once, but I didn't correctly understood which keys the utility was able to handle (I thought that with shift_L the author meant shift + L).
