I don't use Excel very often and I need my F1 key for other tools, but I've had capslock removed for years.

- 13of40 9y agoThat's brilliant - I never thought of that.
- DerfNet 9y agoI use a Model M and remap capslock to super/windows button. I'm so used to it I remap it on laptops as well. Have never come across an instance to actually use all caps.
- ashark 9y agoWhy? It makes a great "ctrl".
- philipov 9y agoI use my pinky to press shift and tab already. I press ctrl with the side of my hand. This way I can press both ctrl and shift at the same time, which is important for RTS and FPS games. Maybe I should map it to backspace like was suggested by WorldMaker.
- ashark 9y agoHuh, must be keyboard size/shape differences but palm-pressing "fn" on my keyboard (where "ctrl" would be on a normal keyboard) while hitting "shift" with my pinkie is impossible without mashing other keys around them, and is really uncomfortable. End up pressing "shift" with the side of my first knuckle, that finger's so contorted. I use pinkie + ring when I hit two modifiers on that side, though that does mean I take a finger off "WASD", for gaming purposes. It'd be easier to train myself to hit shift+caps (as a ctrl) with just my pinkie than to do the palm + pinkie method, I think. Again, probably a hardware difference.
- WorldMaker 9y agoI remap capslock to backspace normally. You'd be surprised how useful a second, closer backspace can be. If I'm using a lot of Vim remapping capslock to Escape can be more useful. A lot of people like capslock remapped to control.
