First add the layout :
Main Menu: >System > Preferences > Keyboard
This opens the Keyboard Preferences.
Go to the second tab: Layouts
Click the "Add" button (or skip to the next section if Colemak is installed).
Select Country: United States
Select Variants: USA Colemak
You should now see Colemak in your installed layouts.
**********************************************
Click "Options"
You will see a list, including "CapsLock key behavior". Click to expand.
The ninth option down should be "Make CapsLock an additional Backspace".
This setting works across ALL installed layouts, not just the active one.
