I have swapped my escape and caps, to aid my Vim-Fu. After all: no-one needs CAPSLOCK anyway.
But this confuses co-workers who sit at my computer. This tiny script allows me to quickly toggle the behaviour of Capslock and escape between "normal" and "swapped".
Oh. This is Ubuntu/Gnome stuff. I doubt it even works on KDE and certainly not on Windows or OSX.
