Let's calm down a bit... Why are the options to make Caps ESC/Super/Backspace not enough for you? Ha! I was ranting in gest! Not too seriously. But my plight is serious, deadly serious. </booming voice> Because I often hit the key by accident while typing the 'a.' And seeing the number of hits on disabling the key all together on any other OS as wel as X using OSes I think it's time for a feature request. Giving the key any other function doesn't help the problem, since it will not result in caps keys, but in other unwanted behaviour. > Because I often hit the key by accident while typing the 'a.'

What's wrong with the 'Super' mapping? That keysym itself is usually not bound to any function.
1) It's unusual and weird. People will not look for that solution, they will simply look for the button to disable the capslock. 2) The next key-press will get lost. > 1) It's unusual and weird.

If you unpress Caps first - nothing happens. Anyway, I will think of that option. > > 1) It's unusual and weird.

Please get real and look at the results of google for "caps-lock" or some variation to that. What have you found? A neutral article on wikipedia explaining the function of the key, and tons of sites CURSING that key! > > 2) The next key-press will get lost. > Why??? If you unpress Caps first - nothing happens. That's only a realistic solution to one finger typists. > Anyway, I will think of that option. Uhuh. google results are impressive, I must admit. caps:none added. you won;) Much appreciated! |
