How do you tell if caps lock is on using javascript?
The question title says it all really. One caveat though: I did google it and the best solution I could find was to attach an onkeypress event to every input, then check each time if the letter pressed was uppercase, and if it was, then check if shift was also held down. If it wasn't, therefore caps lock must be on. This feels really dir...

How do I swap CTRL and CAPS LOCK on Carbon Emacs on OSX without doing it OS-wide?
I've recently started learning emacs since I was unhappy with Textmate and as a starting point read the "Effective Emacs" article by Steve Yegge.

Override Caps Lock with Ctrl using C#
I'm writing (yet another, I know) keyboard remapper using C# and Visual Studio 2008. I followed this guide to learn how to snap up low-level key presses.

Way to turn on keyboard's caps-lock light without actually turning on caps-lock?
I'm writing a program that uses caps-lock as a toggle switch. It would be nice to set the LED of the key to show that my program is on or off, like the capslock key does naturally.

Can I map Control to the Caps Lock key and keep the toggle functionality in Linux?
Can I change the Caps Lock key to Control and still keep the on/off nature of Caps Lock? I've checked into using xmodmap and seem to have hit a dead end.
