The Caps Lock key only moved to its current location in 1984 to satisfy the increasing number of secretaries using computer keyboards. It used to be Control.

I always remap caplock as a Ctrl in my keyboards. Very comfortable.

Actually, on my ezbook (with US keyboard) I remapped the Caps Lock to the "Compose" key in order to type accented letters (for everything else there is Shift-Ctrl-u + unicode) :-)
