I think their point is sometimes their left pinky is a bit lazy and won't get off the fucking shift key
It is, but accidentally hitting capslock instead of shift when hitting the colon is extremely easy to do.
Caps Lock is that key that's best replaced with Ctrl? ;)
Only for Emacs users. Vim users generally replace it with Escape.
Except that vim was designed on a keyboard with the Ctrl key at the place of your current capslock (for most keyboards, Japanese still have Ctrl at the "right" plac).
Why not both ;) - ESC when tapped, CTRL as a modifier key when pressed together with some other key.
Good idea! Though aborting a Ctrl-C could close a dialog window :/
I'm a vim user and replace it with Ctrl. It's much more useful and you can use ^[ to get Escape.
I like Compose on CapsLock more.
I like to have Caps Lock cycle the last two used keyboard languages. A necessity when there are five designated on the keyboard!
