Does it give you the ability to use caps lock though? That is really helpful
with laptop layouts. I think it's just a fiddly process changing all the
keys you want to change, but thinking about it, I bet it would only take a
few minutes to create a layout for every possible keystroke, not even just
the ones asigned by default!
