You can remap keys in modern operating systems. Any sane person will remap capslock to something they use more often (eg. ctrl or alt). Who needs capslock anyway?
- koralatov 14y agoYouTube commenters, and my boss. I haven't managed to break him of the habit of activating Caps Lock, pressing the key for letter he wants capitalised, then deactivating Caps Lock again.

- rootbear 14y agoI used to think the same way until I suffered neurological damage that affects the sensory nerves in my fingers. Holding down the shift key while I type some all-caps text, like "STUPID_SHOUTY_MACRO_NAME", is uncomfortable, so I now find the caps lock key useful. It would be nice to have it as a control key, but I would want some other way to activate the caps lock function. Maybe a double tap on the shift key, like on the iPhone keypad, would work.
- jlgreco 14y agoI actually find holding shift nicer for STUPIDLY_LONG_MACROS and whatnot since those underscores require shift and don't work with capslock.
