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.
