| | Sorting It All Out : Some people hate the CAPS LOCK key |
| | However, I cannot think of a single reason to insist on every American keyboard having a caps lock key that is any better than insisting on every computer having floppy disk drives or multiple RS-232 serial ports. | | | Num Lock, of course, changes the function of the numeric keypad to act as a bigger set of arrow keys. | | | The other solution I've used is to simply change the cancellation of CAPS LOCK to be done with the Shift key instead. |

| | HelpLine: Caps Lock warning needed |
| | The caps lock on Windows computers has always been a bone of contention with me. It's way too easy to hit while typing (and I never use it anyway). | | | There is a feature in XP that will let you enable an audible warning anytime the caps lock key is pressed and it's really easy to activate. | | | This was the way my old Mac keyboard was in 1984, and somehow this good idea got lost. |

| | The Fugue |
| | In any case, the linux kernel uses this logic to deal with this interesting hardware quirk: on 0x39 and 0xb9 both, generate both a key press and key release event, and do nothing for the 0xff events (or at least, nothing related to caps lock). | | | This makes caps lock work perfectly, but it also makes it impossible to remap caps lock to a modifier because there is no way to hold down the key. | | | The only difference is that that patch is changing the kernel behavior for caps lock, not only when caps lock is remapped, so if you don't remap caps lock you might end up with an inverted caps lock occasionally. |
