Some blundering prawn has put the CAPS LOCK key adjacent to the A-key; one of the keys with highest use frequency, by the way.
How many person-hours have been lost by the human race due to this moronic decision? I myself must about six times per day at least do a double take, realise I am typing in
caps, and have to go back, delete and re-type. This probably takes (average) 10 seconds per incident, one minute per day. Times by 7 billion people, times by 365 days. This is costing humanity therefore an estimated 13,318 years standard time value work every year.
So, instead, change the operation ofthe CAPS LOCK key so that you would have to hit it twice in order to go into CAPS LOCK mode, which is infrequently required anyway. the first tap merely brings up a banner stating 'Tap CAPS LOCK again to enter CAPS LOCK mode.' and if you don't you just don't get CAPS LOCK.

Have you considered the person-hours you're losing by not
learning how to touchtype? |
|
| |
A side effect would be that you can look at the screen while you
type and therefore notice immediately that no 'a' appeared
when you thought you hit the A-key. |
