Emacs keyboard mappings on a macbook

Question

I recently switched to a macbook. I miss the right control key and my little finger started to ache and thus I mapped my Cmd to Ctrl inside emacs alone and I've mapped Caps to Ctrl and Ctrl to Caps system-wide.

Does anyone have a better config before I get used to this ? What is yours? I'm particularly interested in the keyboard mappings.

Edit: I'm using aquaemacs and that too for the last few days.

Edit2: I've reset the mapping between Cmd and Ctrl because it felt weird since Cmd is in the position where Meta usually is in the other keyboards.

Answer 1

Caps lock is control. Never use capslock (alternatively bind it to the conrol you no longer need). Cmd is meta.

Also, while you're at it, ditch aquamacs. Its long been known as "not emacsy enough". Emacs 23 now comes with a cocoa frontend that makes it nice to look at on OSX, so the main reason for using it is no longer necessary.
