in reply to The most useless key on my keyboard is:
I voted for Caps Lock, because it is not simply "useless" (as weirdos: pause, Scrlk, PrtScr) it is harmful! I wish this key were never invented!!! It was useless even on conventional typewriters. |

Harmful? Just remap it. I use it as an alternative control key:
xmodmap -e 'add Control = Caps_Lock'
Why control? Because I used to use keyboards where the CapsLock key was below the shift key. Quite useful for me in those days to have the above mapping - on a standard PC keyboard, I seldomly use the CapsLock key - but if I hit it by accident, it won't cause SHOUTING.
