disable caps lock
October 1st, 2003 by Dylan
The caps lock key has been a silent annoyance for me for many years. It is rare that I need this capability, yet it interferes with my typing at least once a day when I type that key instead of the letter a. After a quick read, I found that this is very easy to fix in Linux, adding remove lock = Caps_Lock to ~/.Xmodmap disables the caps lock key. Windows users have choices for doing this too, with the easiest solution being one of many shareware utilities.
