Sounds good to me, I usually map Caps Lock to "reload" since its right next to WASD. Though I don't think I've actually run into this problem, as yes John Carmack has a severe case of NIH syndrome and does not use SDL, and I usually remap Caps Lock to Control... What platforms is this a problem on, anyway? The only one I know of is Macintosh ADB keyboards, and how relevant are those anymore. Did this patch ever get merged anywhere? http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2005/12/msg00214.html Doing some googling, it seems the problem is actually some "obscure" X11 implementations, which is not something that really affects Fedora...
