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

Comments

As an engineer, there are a lot of technical documents and drawings that often require 100% caps. I wouldn't be able to do my job without Caps.

There are also a variety of applications and situations that I have used it, as simply a home user as well.

Not including being spammy or 'shouting' it Once you get past the 'Someone is yelling' in all CAPS. Most of the time ALL CAPITALS IS EASIER to read for many people. It prints more legible.

Studies have shown that all caps text is significantly harder to read by the vast majority of the population. Engineering and drafting documents that have an all upper case convention should change their convention. It's a hold-over that's been going on too long.
