Comment on Caps Lock Key Has No Place on a Modern Keyboard

Comments

I mapped capslock to control, and I think I use it more than any other key.

Exactly. Mapping it to another key makes way more sense than just disabling it entirely.

I had tried this and though in certain scenarios it was very convenient, it was actually nuisance at other times i.e. I started to use it as my primary control key and then I started missing R and L controls. I was learning touch typing(still am :( ) at that time so I mapped it to "No Action" in the end.

Guess someday I will map it to something crazy for fun, it's useless anyway :-)
