Obscure button tier list (sh.itjust.works)

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 also use it for Esc which is really convenient for Vim

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.

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.

And the Pause key too!?

HOW DO YOU YELL WITHOUT CAPSLOCK?
