Personally I always map the Caps Lock key to be another CTRL in
Ubuntu, and since this is the natural position for the ctrl key I
think it would be good to have this as an additional option in Haiku -
not sure what you guys think, but if you try it out you'll quickly
find it's a really good location for it!
