It seems that the interface for selecting this has vanished, but not the underlying mechanism to provide it.

In earlier versions you could do the following: - Launch System Settings - Click on Keyboard Layout - Click on Options - These options allow one to modify Caps Lock Key behavior (for example swap it with ESC) In newer versions of Saucy I try to do the following: - Launch System Settings - Click on Keyboard - Click on Layout Settings - Cannot find a location similar to these older options These older 'Keyboard Layout Options' made it very easy to do things like swaping Caps Lock for ESC which make vim users much happier.
