I've seen quite a few people that, either or of habit or due to it being less error-prone to type for them, use Caps Lock for typing capital letters. Instead of Shift+letter, they'd type Caps, letter, Caps. One keystroke more, but no two keys held at the same time, which is difficult for some people. I'm sure there are superior accessibility options, but those have to be found first, whereas Caps Lock just works the same everywhere.
- jandrese 7y agoIsn't that what StickyKeys is for?
- ygra 7y agoYes, as noted, there are accessibility options for that, but that's possibly not an option, depending on how locked-down the PC is the people are working on (one person I've seen this doing was at the ticket counter in a train station; I'm not even sure whether they still had their DOS-based system back then). People tend to use an option they know over one that may be objectively better that they don't know ;-)
- klez 7y agoBut why should I use a non-default setting when I have a key right there on the keyboard for that very purpose?
