The headlined article talks about "the Caps Lock key's usual position". What it is overlooking is that to a fair number of people the position of Caps Lock on an IBM Model M keyboard was, conversely, the Control key's usual position, because that's where it was on the Model F for the XT, and where it was on quite a number of home computer keyboards in the 1970s and 1980s.
Fun fact: Some home computers had both caps lock and shift lock.
- pge 7y agoAnother data point - Ctrl was also in the same place (where caps lock is today) on the Apple ][ keyboards. There was no Caps Lock key at all.
