Description

(I'm not sure if this should be filed against xkb plugin or keyboard settings...)

It is easy to disable/remap the (annoying) capslock key using:

setxkbmap -option caps:none

As per: http://askubuntu.com/questions/53038/how-do-i-remap-the-caps-lock-key/614664#614664

Please add this functionality to Keyboard Settings, just like we can change Layout Option and Compose Key.

In Ubuntu (probably Gnome 3), the Keyboard Layout application has a GUI facility for this (now it's in gnome-tweak-tool): http://askubuntu.com/questions/53038/how-do-i-remap-the-caps-lock-key/614664#614664
