Not a bad idea to use caps lock for a different key, but i guess it is not the big time saver to use it as cmd+r - takes pretty much the same time. i also needed a tool to remap some keys - i'm living in germany but i'm using a us-int. keyboard to have it easier on coding. but also i wanted to use german letters: äöü without holding aou pressed and then press the number i need in the overlay of special chars. now i have it on alt+a/o/u i used Ukelele (http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=Ukelele http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&#38...) for it - pretty easy tool, where you can create your complete own keyboard layout and set it up with your own icon and so on. And without less steps then explained in your todo list. who might is interested in this us-german-layout (https://github.com/marvwhere/usgerman https://github.com/marvwhere/usgerman)

If you're a programmer, how do you not use Caps Lock? People bitch about Caps Lock, but don't say a thing about the inexcusable lack of a real Delete key on Apple laptops and small keyboards. The lack of this basic key, year after, is idiotic. So with the ever-diminishing value of physical media, what does Apple do? Put a dedicated Eject key on its keyboards, instead of Delete. And on the Air? Why no Delete key? And to make matters worse, you can't even remap Eject to be Delete, because Apple even more idiotically put a HARDWARE DELAY on the Eject key. Why? Because of all the fatal accidental CD ejections? If this is such a problem, why didn't they put Eject on some other key as a secondary function? They pulled the same shit with Caps Lock: It doesn't work half the time, apparently because Apple put the same asinine hardware-delay BS on it for no apparent reason. I contributed the "F12 to forward delete" hotkey to KeyRemap4MacBook, so you can stand using these things. Enjoy.
