Why the fuck does this button need to exist? Wouldn't it

It would fuck up the entire layout, you tard
People switch it and left CTRL

>>56421591
No. Kill yourself you autistic fuck.

>>56421591
Just map it to ctrl or escape

CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL
Leftover from the age of typewriters.

We need Apple to remove the caps lock and replace it with something more useful

>>56421591
Map it to Compose

>Press and release shift without doing anything else
>Turns caps lock on or off
>Press and hold shift, type at least one character just like you normally would using shift
>Releasing it now won't turn it on/off
Why isn't this a thing?

>>56421591
You mean the personal macro button? I find it pretty useful sometimes.

>>56421591
caps lock is like putting your car in park every time you want to stop

>>56421591
That's where the control key should be.

>>56421656
Exactly this.

I was thinking this. I want my caps lock. I already have a shift and control key.

With a proper keyboard it rarely cause any problems.

What you are looking for is the Lenovo X1 Carbon, 2nd version.

Protip: it's a completely and utter shitty layout. Source: me - I own one.

Thats actually a really good point. But then again - what's with all the normies that barely know how to turn a computer on. The struggle would be so real

I would rather see fn keys go away first.

>>56421591
I map it to backspace

It's a backup key.

My command key is broken so I rebound it to caps lock.

>>56421591
No! I use Caps Lock to type every capital letter instead of Shit. As strange as it sounds, there are people who type this way.

>>56421591
I swapped Caps Lock and Backspace. Works great.

>>56421591
I switch escape and caps lock

>>56422007
Chrome OS lets you remap that key.

Has anyone else "modded" their keyboard with autohotkey?

I changed LCtrl and the Menu key to Fn (added arrow keys, special keys like home/end and a numpad to the keyboard, now I don't have to move my hands much) then LWin and RWin to LCtrl and RCtrl.

>>56421695
this.

just run

setxkbmap de neo

, problem solved.

I swap it to be an extra meta key

>>56421689
>having to wait that much
fuck no
Just make people press both shift keys at once for caps lock if you want to remove that key

I remapped capslock as control, it feels like a much more natural position for control to be. In the normal bottom-right location my pinkie has to do all kinds of acrobatics to reach. Give it a try!

>>56423290
shit I meant bottom-left

I have no idea why they put the Windows key right where your palms can hit it by accident, they couldn't put a more commonly used key there?

>>56421591
ok

On laptops it is very popular to remove keys the designers doesn't know what does so they can make the keyboard smaller.
They move and remove keys all the time.
The menu key, the pause/break.
The f-keys, insert, even print and navigation gets moved or hidden so the keyboard is get harder to use.
But keys I have not seen touched is the right shift key, right control and caps lock.
Those keys at least have alternatives.

I use caps lock, but that key could be moved to a location that would require both hands to be pressed and still be as valuable as it is now.
I just move things around with xmodmap which makes it better for me, but nobody else can or should use my computer.

Like an Encrypt Lock

I get triggered at work when someone uses cap, instead of shit to cap. a letter. Really triggered when i enter my password and I cant login cuz someone left the caps on too. Everytime
