WHO NEEDS CAPSLOCK WHEN YOU GOT THE SHIFT KEY
I will never use the shift key, caps lock toggling superior.
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.
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.
This is actually how my wife does it. Its driving me nuts.
