Re: Question about mapping Control and Meta keys to mouse buttons

[Gray Calhoun]

Thanks for your answer.  I want to just clarify one more thing: is 
moving the modifier keys (control, meta, shift, etc.) is something that 
needs to be done outside of emacs?  I know that swapping caps lock and 
control needs to be done at the desktop level, but it's not clear to me 
whether that's because of the special nature of caps lock or the special 
nature of the control key (or both).

Best,
Gray
