We have an issue indeed.
It's mapped to OPT like Left Win ; while Right Win is mapped to CMD
like Left Alt

You may want to copy a key, for example completely overwrite caps lock
with control or something similar.
There's another problem with that : there is no way to get caps lock
back! (it is possible to get regular characters by dragging them from
somewhere else, for example the character map application).
What about :
- left click drag to swap keys
- right click drag gets a popup on mouse release asking what to do
Anything besides swapping key is not used too often, so that should be
ok ?
