    This seems weird, but is anyone really going to miss the caps lock key?

      Yes. Case captions are nearly entirely capitalized.
      Many titles of articles and documents for students, doctors, journalists, etc., are also capitalized. This will be a pain.

        I thought about the case captions, but if you’re using MS Word you can just use the Change Case function on any text.

          Agree. Never liked caps lock anyway. Wish it worked just like bold, underline, etc. Would be much easier to copy something then turn it off. Which you can do if the font is set to all caps. There’s probably a shortcut key or easy macro to apply that but I’m too lazy to look it up.

    I disable caps lock on every computer I can. it’s right there in the wrong place just so it gets enabled for nothing.
    Anyone with long fingers will rejoice.
