Just learned about the Colemak keyboard layout, might bother learning it I don't know I'm already learning Dvorak out of bordom so why not, but their site brought up something random in my mind,

Who actually uses caps lock for caps lock. I've been using keyboards since elementary school 15-16 years ago and I haven't used caps lock since I've learned that the shift button capitalizes letters too and I don't have to remember to turn it off, I just release the button.

I hate that I never thought to remap it to something useful like colemak does, so even if I don't end up learning it, I can at least thank it for the idea to change caps lock to be useful

    I know a couple hardcode vim users that remapped caps lock to escape, but I haven’t bothered to remap it to anything

    But I definitely want to, it’s basically useless to me and it’s one prime keyboard real estate

    if you use vim -> remap to escape
    if emacs or else -> remap to ctrl

    I use it mainly for SQL and constants.
    Constants only when defining, autocompletion takes care of capitalization when using.
