I type with 2 fingers and look at the keyboard while I do it.

I know what you mean about the caps lock key. On my laptop, that damn key is situated in JUST THE RIGHT LOCATION where I can't type without accidentally hitting it.

Well I'll be the one to google this.. http://johnhaller.com/jh/useful_stuf...ble_caps_lock/

Reg files that will disable the caps lock or make it act like a different key. your all welcome. I take bribes

Is the caps lock key the equalivelent of the enter key for SH4 ?

Now that key brought me much anger.

CAPS lock key, to the last, I will grapple with thee... from Hell's heart, I stab at thee! For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee!

It's a bit of a long shot Neal, but here you go: next time you look up at the computer and find you have just typed all those words in caps, go out and buy yourself a copy of the latest version of AutoCAD, come home and install it. Then after creating a new TEXT Template, copy and paste your mistaken Caps words into the blank drawing sheet you have just created, then use the ExpressTools menu to choose the Text Modifyer Tool and select change text to Caps/LowerCaste, press Return, then copy or cut your blurb back into whatever you were doing before having to spend ~4k on CAD

Sorted.

Work great for years. Still do.

A quick shake and you can start again

Dear CAPS lock key, when I find time, I will have you suffer the same fate as your two evil friends:

Can't stand those laptop keyboards. That's why I have an external one

Apart from that, I have at least 2 mechanical pencils and about 4 pens (2 regular, 1 shorthand, 1 calligraphy

). Nothing beats shorthand if you want to jot down something really fast. Always beats me when I see students in the lecture hall with their clumsy computers ...

Just grab a flathead screwdriver and pop off the caplock key.

CAPital punishment for the CAPS lock key, eh?
