It's a good question as to how the Control and CapsLock keys ``should'' be
arranged. The first Concepts had them
Repeat | Ctrl | A
We at CMU bitched loud about this, and were superficially pleased with the
next version, which had auto-repeat and
Ctrl | CapsLk | A
Unfortunately, this is operationally a real loss, aggravated by the CapsLock
design, whose state is indicated only by a little light on the key itself
and not, say, by the key sticking down or up or anything. The key gets in the
way a LOT. Personally, I never use it, and so would be just as happy with it
on the bottom of the keyboard, but even for people who use it, a less in-the-
way place would be quite adequate. Between left-finger-home and Control is a
loss. Unfortunately, the other arrangement is probably a loss, too.
