Mapping having your ctrl key and caps lock key swapped is key. Also, if you are running xterm, make sure you have set the meta sends escape option toggled to use the alt key for some of these. Otherwise, you'll just get characters with accents. You can do this by control clicking on the xterm or by putting XTerm*vt100.metaSendsEscape:true in your .Xdefaults file (or by using my .Xdefaults).
