I've been trying (with a combination of KeyRemap4MacBoom and PCKeyboardHack) to get my Caps Lock to behave as a backspace when tapped a la the default setting of PCKH (for Colemak), but act as Ctrl when held (for vim/emacs/console, etc).

I had a friend (who isn't contactable for a year or so) show me that he managed to set that up (and I *think* he was using your software) by routing backspace to a different key (like "PC key") and then configuring that key to work differently based on whether it was a tap or a hold.

Now, for the life of me, I can't seem to understand the documentation or find good examples in the bundled settings in a way that has let me get a working solution.

So, a) is this possible with KR4M, and b) if so, are you able to nudge me in the right direction to figure this out?
