Perhaps you should read more carefully.
Thad remapped Caps Lock to ANOTHER Ctrl.
He didn't SWAP anything.
When I want all uppercase,
Emacs is fully capable of uppercasing as much typing as I need.
I don't need or want a Caps Lock key anywhere on my keyboard.
You'll need to create another write up that explains why
we can't live without CAPS LOCK.
