What's wrong with caps lock? Only when using an editor is there an easy shortcut to capitalise multiple characters at a time.

Typing a word in caps using the shift keys is uncomfortable due to alternating which hand presses shift.

I thought the same thing. I do wish it was moved though. I probably hit it on accident a few times a week when I was trying to get Tab or Shift.

I've got mine mapped to f6 right now. My capslock is an extra ctrl button, but I might make it esc pretty soon.

As someone who uses left-shift nigh exclusively, does this mean you use different shifts for different letters?

In general, for typing in ALL CAPS for me, I just rest my little finger on the shift key and then type as normal (at normal speed), but I've never had proper typing form. ;)

Yeah, I type 'properly' with every key belonging to a specific finger. I can only press a few keys belonging to my left index and middle finger while pressing shift, the others require an awkward hand position.

Best thing about the caps lock key is that I can remap it to control. Even when my caps lock key isn't remapped I'll hold down the shift or use my editor.

It is uncomfortable to hold the shift key down for long words, but it is so rare that I don't mind.

I use caps lock quite often, e.g. for constant variables or acronyms. Then again, I have to remember to turn it off or else my next few key strokes will make vim go crazy.
