Caps lock is such a useless key. I almost never hit it intentionally. When I do strike it, the results are at best annoying (I LOOK LIKE I'M SHOUTING) and at worst are catastrophic! (try hitting caps lock in the middle of a vim session sometime. Or better yet, try hitting it in the middle of someone else's. I guarantee you there will be profanity. :)
Given my vim-ish tendencies, I decided to map Caps Lock to Escape (a very important key in vim, which is in a crappy location on many keyboards). There are several ways to do this under Linux. Under Windows, registry magic is needed.
Fortunately, a free program called SharpKeys will do this for you. (It looks like it can map just about any key to any other key. I haven't played with it.)
