turn off noise on kinesis keyboard caps-lock

Does anyone here have any ideas…

The built-in software seems to let me remap entire keys, but I don't see a clear way to separately remap an unshifted key and its shifted form. I can't find any hint of doing this in the config file, which admits entire keys.
