in thread (WWWOT)true shiftlock key?

i agree that the placement of the capslock key is abysmally stupid (i've got mine remapped as control like it should be too).

you probably already know this but someone might not and i remember going "oh yeah... that makes sense..." the first time someone explained to me the reason for its existence. the capslock key is for people who, for whatever reason -- arthritis, missing hand, etc -- aren't able to hit two keys at once. if you only have one finger and you want a capital G, you're going to have a hard time getting it with just a shift key; instead they can hit capslock, g, then capslock again.

so there's my useless knowledge contribution of the day. enjoy.

of course it really could have gone somewhere less annoying...
