WHO NEEDS CAPSLOCK WHEN YOU GOT THE SHIFT KEY

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

I will never use the shift key, caps lock toggling superior.

Oh god, I had a guy on work practise a couple of weeks. He was about 15, and pressed capslock, another key, and then capslock again for capital letters.

I suddenly stormed into the room screaming, with a knife. I plucked out the capslock key, and ran out of the room, still screaming. Then I popped my head back in through the door in a much calmer fashion and told him he would get the key back after his practise time at our company.

I have caps lock remapped to compose (I use US-Dvorak, but sometimes need scandinavian letters).

When asked about not needing an actual caps lock, my go-to answers are that "I don't write SQL code often enough" or"Caps lock is only needed for the youtube comment section about videos you don't like"

In all seriousness, I don't see why wr need a caps lock key anymore. I just have it remapped as it's conveniently placed and never used.

I'm guessing you're not a gamer.

Oh, for toggling running to always on?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I remapped caps lock to backspace so it's easy to reach. Much better use of that real estate.
