         This is problematic in that a lot of keystrokes are handled by the host before the browser get to see them... but the idea is sound. I would rather use Scroll Lock than Caps Lock (personally) as there's already a lot of nasty sync-related issues with Caps Lock  |

Everybody who used KVM encountered this problem:
Both local and remote systems use the same keyboard controls, which makes a lot of troubles.
So I propose to use CapsLock for switching between systems:
If CapsLock is off, then control keys are used on local system (like ESC, ALT+TAB, F4 etc.)
If CapsLock in on, then control keys are sent to remote system (behind KVM).
