My physical QL has a replacement keyboard membrane, but for one reason or another the operation of Ctrl+left cursor together is very hit and miss. You have to really hold Ctrl down for it to register. I could (and at some point, probably will) open it up and look to see if the membrane could be fractionally repositioned etc, but right now opening it up and messing with the membrane feels like asking for trouble...!
So deleting characters is a bit of a pain. Is it theoretically possible to install some kind of machine-code subroutine that would intercept when 'caps lock' was pressed and reinterpret that as pressing 'delete'? I was boggled when I first got a real QL a few weeks ago and realised it had no dedicated delete key, and I think it's kind of niggled me ever since. I think, even if I could get my Ctrl+left arrow combination working well, it would still be nice to run a patch that could remap a key to do 'delete' duty

Anyone ever tried anything like this - is it remotely a starter? I know nothing about the innards yet, although I've started accumulating documentation ready for a play....
