Ever go to hit 'a' and hit caps lock?
Make it so you have to hit caps twice
quicly to engage and twice quickly to
disengage.

I never even use it. I always just hold
shift WHENEVER I WANT TO TYPE LIKE
AN IDIOT. |

Usually by the time my brain has realised the mistake I'm halfway through the sentence. Although two taps would be horrible confusing. And what about languages abundant with 'aa's? |

Capslock obviously shouldn't be placed where it is. But then, most of the keys on Qwerty shouldn't be placed where they are. <3 |
|
|
Just make hitting capslock disengage it if it's on, and if it's off, require a 1 or 2 second delay holding it before it's enabled. |
|
|
(Or maybe make the capslock light flash when on.) |
|
|
Maybe make all the other keys on the keyboard pop up 1 inch into the air when caps lock is pressed. This gives you a tactile, visual sense of what you are conveying. |
|
|
Make the CAPS LOCK key CONTROL like it used to be in the early years. I never use CAPS LOCK in the scores of years I've been typing and the current position of the left control key is somewhat awkward. Worse comes to worse, make both of them CONTROL, but we really don't need CAPS LOCK anymore. We have other font choices or styles to show emphasis or strength and it's just not that useful for acronyms or organizations. |

How about make it so that if you highlight text and then hit capslock, it converts it, as well as turning capslock off? That way you at least wouldn't have to delete everything you typed before you noticed the change? |
