I've seen lots of requests for a sane "unix" keymap for PC keyboards
from time to time.  I've created one that should do the trick for most
people.  It is us.iso.kbd except:
	ESCAPE and `~ are swapped
	CTRL and CAPS LOCK are swapped
	BACKSPACE and DELETE are swapped
I'm a little biased on the last one because I use Emacs so much, but
could easily kill it. 

I'd like to include it in /usr/share/syscons/keymaps as an alternative
keymap for people to use.  It won't change the defaults, and people
using it I'm assuming will know how do have their delete backwards
character do the right thing when it is DEL rather than BS.

Comments?
