A few points:

 - If you think the people searching the site are going to be able to pick the version they actually want, you're being completely unrealistic. You assume people know the difference between "swap" and "remap" but based on the subtlety of the two answers, if you know that already, you know all you need to.

    **Response to comment:** my point is that people use the two terms interchangeably without knowing the technical difference (reading the two lists of questions would have shown you that!) And your answer still does nothing to clarify this.

 - I do think that this needs to be a question &mdash; <kbd>CapsLock</kbd> works in mysterious ways &mdash; and any answer should point that out, explaining what the `swapcaps` and `nocaps` arguments really do. The answer currently does not do this.

 - I don't think this has anything to do with <kbd>Control</kbd> because it works just like any other key in respect to `setxkbmap`. The question should just be about swapping/remapping <kbd>CapsLock</kbd> to "another" key.

    **RTC:** No, I still don't see the significance of Control to these examples. Why couldn't they work for Shift? A?

 - While we're talking about `setxkbmap`, I should point out that this also has very little to do with Xubuntu. Your question and answer are valid for all graphical Ubuntu variants. I'd be inclined to ditch all the shell-specific nonsense and bring this back to something that works for everyone.

 - We occasionally delete answers when we dupe-close so that people landing on the dupe are automatically redirected to the master question. It's not tyranny, it's logic.

    **RTC:** You want a referendum for everything we do here, before we do it? Well, it's not going to happen. If you could see the number of things we need to do on a daily basis to keep the site clean, you wouldn't want us discussing everything either.

    While that sounds like a typical evil-government "you need us because the world is scary", well... I don't care how it sounds, that's what this is. We're elected to handle the junk and keep things running as best they can. That's all that happened here.

    And we're accountable. Look at you holding us accountable. Democracy in action.

Just to draw a line under this, the community has *democratically* come to the conclusion  that you don't need two questions for this (+5 vs -23).

Now that's resolved, is there anything else I can help you with today?
