Swap CTRL and CAPS key

Question

Swap CTRL and CAPS key

I'd like CAPS lock to function as a CTRL key (mostly because I use Emacs and terminal shortcuts with CTRL)...is that possible?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.2)

If you are running OSX 10.4 or later, try; System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard -> Modifier Keys button. You can remap/swap the ctrl and caps lock keys there.

Use the "Modifier Keys" button at the lower-left of the "Keyboard" tab of "Keyboard & Mouse" system preference.
