Saves lots of awkward pinky-bending.
- oneeyedpigeon 13y agoJust the fact that you can disable Caps Lock is a sanity-saver: thank you!
- lunixbochs 13y agoI go one step further and bind it to Hyper (ctrl+alt+cmd), and use hyper for tiling window management, like "snap window top left of screen grid", etc. https://github.com/lunixbochs/reslate https://github.com/lunixbochs/reslate
- deadfall 13y agoI did this on my Mac a few years back and do it on Windows machine at work. I also use Hotkeys to swap alt and ctl to match my Mac.
- 72deluxe 13y agoIs it me or do Mac Caps Lock keys require you to hold them down for close to a second for them to activate? There appears to be some kind of hardware timer in them to work...? I noticed this coming from Windows and Linux on other keyboards where tapping Caps Lock works but on Mac OSX with an Apple keyboard or on a Macbook you have to make a real deliberate effort to keep the key down longer than a nanosecond for it to register. Is it just me who has noticed this?
- chewxy 13y agoI noticed this on the lock screen. Often you'd have to tap multiple times on caps lock before it even turns on. I assume it's to prevent accidental caps locking, but it can be rather irritating
- dbtc 13y agoIt's not just you. I think it is to prevent accidentally toggling it when going for tab.
