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

Comments

What would be an alternative to the caps lock key? When I type final and/or static variables that are more than a few characters I don't want to be holding shift the whole time like a neanderthal.

On most editors, I can type, then select ( opt-shift-rt-arrow) the word and apply a case change - it's often faster than remembering to use the capslock and then remembering to unlock afterwards.

Also doing the double-shift = capslock can be useful if you're not double-shifting often (ie, gaming).
