i don't think anyone is necessarily saying we need to get rid of caps lock--afterall, we still have scroll lock (side note: I often use the scrolllock button as a button to trigger screen recording. the light on my keyboard is a visual indicator of recording).
just that it doesn't need to be in such a promient position.
My capslock is actually escape, which is much more useful. The only thing I'd say is, esc is sometimes an overlooked button in software because it is so out of the way.

- petepete 3y agoOn the HHKB Caps Lock can be activated with a key combination, but there's no dedicated key. What requires more than a few consecutive capital letters these days?
- Zambyte 3y agoI also don't have a dedicated key, I share it with Alt. I use it when I write SQL sometimes, or other miscellaneous reasons.
- petepete 3y agoI write SQL every working day and do it all in lower case. There's a flawed argument that capitalised keywords make them stand out but I leave that to my editor.
