This is problematic for Emacs users: You can't put Switch Lang there, you need Control there!

However, you could bind this to lcontrol, and get the capslock light to turn on when it goes.

Also, am I the only one who at some point rebound ralt to rshift? I've stopped doing it now. I don't know what I was thinking.

Language switch is problematic for Emacs users in general, 'cause it messes with bindings.

So when I do emacs I use mule, which is mapped by default as C-/. It is not so bad if you remap Caps to Control, but still not one key.

Well, the idea is that you're using emacs for your code, and then you jump over to your mail client (all the emacs mail clients don't really work for me), and hit a key to switch over to russian, or whatever.
