I can't recommend remapping your caps lock key highly enough. The only 
disadvantage is that you can't use that key for the normal caps lock 
functionality, but I rarely type in all caps anyway so don't miss it. After 
doing the remap, I have never needed to touch the control and option keys on 
the right side of my full-sized keyboard, so Macbook users should find this 
extremely helpful.
