    Recently in a post here someone adviced me to remove that key from my keyboard, and I did it I have been almost a month without that key and I tell you that we dont need that key at all. No more pressing accidentally that key when formating your code or when pressing shift key. give it a try you wont regret.

    I'VE ALSO MADE THAT, AND I FIND IT A PITA. I WONDER WHAT I DID WRONG.

      I write my assembler code in uppercase, so I need caps lock.

      I code in binary, so I've removed all the keys except the numeric key pad, backspace, and enter.

          CAPS LOCK IS FOR WUSSIES, I USE THE SHIFT KEY! :D

          It's an OO world.

          public void DoWork(){ throw new NotImplementedException(); }

              I honestly don't know why that key exists, it only causes annoyances... Luckily, most keyboards now have a dip in the side of the caps lock key where it borders the A key so you can't hit it when you hit the A key. And since my pinky is usually on shift anyways, I don't often hit it accidentally in that case. I do miss Tab on occasion though...

                          Hmmm, I never actually thought about how little I use the Caps Lock key. I used to remove the three Windows keys because accidentally hitting them is a real pain in the neck and I rarely use them anyway. Soren Madsen

                            Three? I've never seen more than two :doh: but my home PC's keyboard has a mode that disables those keys (primarily intended to prevent you from accidentally minimizing a full screen game by hitting them).

                                ok then, you'll just need 10 keys apart from backspace and Enter :-)

                                        It does have the keys in the right positions - now take a close look at this[^] and tell me how to press the insert key. Then try to figure out how to press Ctrl+Insert and Shift+Insert ;)

                                          Recently in a post here someone adviced me to remove that key from my keyboard, and I did it I have been almost a month without that key and I tell you that we dont need that key at all. No more pressing accidentally that key when formating your code or when pressing shift key. give it a try you wont regret.

                                          Being this a programming forum I can't unerstand why haven't you created a small app that would allow you to deactivate the caps key. then, depending on your needs you could activate or deactivate the normal behavior.
