If you have "Help" instead of "Ins", replace it with Overgod-tier. Keep pressing it, it will come.

OC, feel free to share.

EDIT; Home is now G-od tier. I didn't know it would go to the beginning of a line, I always used macros "lol".

I use all of these except ScrollLock.

What about the CapsLock key? Windows menu key?

Caps lock is great for rebinding to Ctrl

I work in an architecture firm, and whenever we put text on the plans, it's always in ALL CAPS. It's a niche use-case, but Caps Lock has saved my pinkie finger from getting sore holding down shift for hours a day

Yeah that's a common one. If you're into mechanical keyboards, there are a lot of keycap sets that offer an alternative Control key for the CapsLock position.

Personally I rebind it to Super (Winkey). I have a couple of keyboards without Windows keys, so I can still have a Super key and don't miss out on some handy shortcuts.

Capslock is great for writing SQL.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I write a ton of SQL. I never use my CapsLock key.

SQL doesn't need to be upper case, in fact I loathe upper case SQL.

And the Pause key too!?

Capslock is mandatory. Acronyms, report writing with key words, and programming all make heavy use of fully capitalized words.

COBOL is not a current program language anymore.

HOW DO YOU YELL WITHOUT CAPSLOCK?
