I "grew up" with HP-UX computers and their unique keyboards.  For a long
time I remapped my PC keyboards to put the control key where the caps
lock is, the caps lock where the escape is, and the escape where the
control key is.  To do that I put the lines below in a file and executed
"xmodmap filename".

remove Lock = Caps_Lock
remove Control = Control_L
keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L
keysym Escape = Caps_Lock
keysym Control_L = Escape
add Lock = Caps_Lock
add Control = Control_L
