>how to remap capslock to backspace on windows
Step 1: Google
Step 2: Find some currymuncher's tutorial
Step 1: Run regedit. On most Windows machines, this can easily be accessed by pressing Win+R (especially in Windows 7 where "Run" is not an immediately available option in the start menu) and typing "regedit" in the box.

Step 2: Double-click on the following folders in order...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SYSTEM
CurrentControlSet
Control

......and then click once on Keyboard Layout. (Layout, not Layouts. Very important.)

Step 3: This is the value you will be adding. If there is an item already here called "Scancode Map", right-click it and modify it. If not, right-click and add a new binary value and call it "Scancode Map".

Enter this value exactly as it appears here. Regedit will automatically space the values as needed.

0000000000000000030000000e003a003a000e0000000000

Step 4: Close Regedit and restart your computer.

Step 3: Possibly break computer because you're editing the registry according to some curry muncher

>remap capslock to backspace on linux
google: remap keys xorg

man xmodmap
vim ~/.Xmodmap

"remove Lock = Caps_Lock
keycode 66 = BackSpace"

restart xorg

editing your registry and fucking up

>being afraid to edit the registry
What are you, some kind of faggot? If you're that scared, export your current registry to a USB if your super paranoid or just your local filesystem. If you manage to massively break something just use Safe Mode to restore it. Not like you actually will break something, unless you start randomly moving keys around or deleting them like some sort of mongoloid.
