Remap capslock to control on all connected keyboards (now with a test to see if it's already done)

remap.pp

  $keyboard_ids = 'ioreg -n IOHIDKeyboard -r | grep -E \'VendorID"|ProductID\' | awk \'{ print $4 }\' | paste -s -d\'-\n\' -'
  $check = 'xargs -I{} sh -c \'defaults -currentHost read -g "com.apple.keyboard.modifiermapping.{}-0" | grep "Dst = 2" > /dev/null\''
  $remap = 'xargs -I{} defaults -currentHost write -g "com.apple.keyboard.modifiermapping.{}-0" -array "<dict><key>HIDKeyboardModifierMappingDst</key><integer>2</integer><key>HIDKeyboardModifierMappingSrc</key><integer>0</integer></dict>"'
  exec { 'Remap capslock to control on all keyboards':
    command => "${keyboard_ids} | ${remap}",
    unless => "${keyboard_ids} | ${check}"
  }

remap.sh

ioreg -n IOHIDKeyboard -r | grep -E 'VendorID"|ProductID' | awk '{ print $4 }' | paste -s -d'-\n' - | xargs -I{} /usr/bin/defaults -currentHost write -g "com.apple.keyboard.modifiermapping.{}-0" -array "<dict><key>HIDKeyboardModifierMappingDst</key><integer>2</integer><key>HIDKeyboardModifierMappingSrc</key><integer>0</integer></dict>"

@indirect I'm trying boxen for the first time, and I'd like to add this to my people/manifests/amiel.pp. Will it work to paste remap.pp in?

It seems to. Thanks for putting this together!
