   Two questions please   
   03 Jun 23 16:53:32   
   
   From: NoEMail@home.org   
      
   My first question has to do with Fluxbox window manager: is there a way   
   or setting that I can force Fluxbox to keep the mouse attached to a given   
   window until I click on a new window? I'm pretty sure this relates to   
   "mouse focus" but I have been unable to any setting that does what I   
   want. For example, I may click on an Xterm and start reading a pdf   
   file in the xterm. As I am scrolling through the document with the mouse   
   wheel, the mouse pointer drifts around the screen because I'm not   
   paying attention to it while I read. If the mouse pointer drifts out   
   of bounds of the pdf display, I am suddenly tossed into some other   
   window. Can I attach the mouse to the original Xterm/PDF display?   
      
   Secondly, over the years I have wanted to either defeat CapsLock   
   or change it to Control when running under X. None of the remedies   
   that have been suggested to me have proved to be permanent. They   
   work for a while, and then X reverts back to the damned CapsLock.   
   Is there an absolutely permanent fix?   
      
   Thanks.
