If you lack the motor skills to press Shift and other keys at the same time it might be practical, assuming you often need to type long sentences with all caps. That functionality could be inside Shift though. Like a different level of Shift.
Asher Bell
this
also, ascended tier: to map escape to it on click, and control on hold
Gavin Sullivan
Unless you are programming in BASIC I don't see why I should use caps lock when I could type normally and use my pinky to press shift.
Cannot even map useful things since its a two-state key. But It would be cool to map backspace to it.
Exactly what I think, only boomers and older generations ever use caps lock at all. The type of guys that say "I dont touch type and i dont wanna learn anyways"
Gavin Garcia
Legacy.
Typewriters had it for long all cap texts. computers keyboard layouts comes from typewriters and guess who were the people who used to type shit in computers.

the caps lock key is key lock in capital letters.
otherwise they would downgrade over time.
Parker Jenkins
what the fuck, people actually press shift to type in caps? I've been using Caps Locks since forever
Joseph Turner
How else could you use proper capitalization when typing with your dick? Not every key is as close to shift as ? is.
Julian Collins
Are you me? I tap it on and off to type capital letters.
Ryder Moore
DON'T KNOW
JUST TURN IT ON AND FORGET ABOUT IT
Joshua Russell
I work in a lab and one particular machine wants all inputs to be in caps so we just keep caps lock on.
Charles Rodriguez
THE FUCK IF I KNOW
Jacob Ross

How would I go about doing this? I already map it to escape with xmodmap, but what about control?
Bentley Harris
Better question, what is the purpose of capital letters in language at all?
Juan Evans
Ease of readability
Kayden Bell
To indicate noise level. Caps = LOUD
Wyatt Gray
to point what letters in a word you need o scream
John Hughes
# make CapsLock behave like Ctrl:
setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps
# make short-pressed Ctrl behave like Escape:
xcape -e 'Control_L=Escape'
Nathaniel Murphy
I saw someone doing this the other day, I couldn't believe it. I always use shift.
Jordan Nelson
capslock::Enter

Mason Lopez
If you are blind select a bigger font.
It is NOT easier to read a text with only capital letwrs.
Logan Fisher
thankyou user
Xavier Morgan
inb4 it gets changed to an emoji key and when you press it all the letters a-z do an emoji.
Connor Ramirez
to use it as backspace obviously.
Jaxon Fisher
It's for boomers. Or for people who capitalize normally with capslock instead of shift, like me. God bless my poor soul why do I have this stupid habit.
Kevin Price
sometimes when I am very depressed I play with capslock, numlock and scroll lock.
I press these keys in rhythm of the music I hear and see the lights on my keyboard blink.
It makes me feel better.
Carter Williams
aw
Jayden Brown
whoa i used to do this all the time as a kid
Josiah Price

Joseph Morales
CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL
Henry Hughes
it seems to take more time to interpret the key as an esc at least in vim. if i used emacs the control mapping would be more useful i guess
Wyatt Hughes
Take a look at caps2esc if you don't mind running a daemon for this.
Aiden Thomas
Entering serial keys
Colton Sanders
True. But it is easier to read with a few of them. Same with spaces, paragraphs, etc.
Bentley Jenkins
you can change the time by using
set timeout timeoutlen={milliseconds} ttimeoutlen={milliseconds}
I had this problem when I first remapped it. It has something to do with vim waiting for a second key very briefly to allow for mappings like
inoremap jk
Dylan King
>vim waiting for a second key very briefly
I think. Any other vimfags correct me if I'm wrong.
Kayden Lee
this is why you should swap caps with esc and ctrl with alt instead, that multi key shit doesnt work.
Levi Johnson
This is why
