Crazy OSX remapping
Caps Lock => when pressed with another key is CONTROL
Caps Lock => when pressed by self is ESCAPE
Control => when pressed is OPTION
Option => when pressed is CONTROL, OPTION, SHIFT, COMMAND
so Option becomes the Hyper key ala http://stevelosh.com/blog/2012/10/a-modern-space-cadet/

This works well for everything except for Emacs.
Perhaps:
Control becomes Command ala Windows/Linux
Option becomes Hyper
Command becomes Option
Which would put Meta for emacs back where it feels natural for emacs but in ever other app, it feels like
a waste as Cmd-A, Cmd-W, Cmd-Q is easier on my fingers than Ctrl-A, Ctrl-W etc.

Either way... I'm enjoying having a Hyper Key.
