Whenever I get stuck with a M$ keyboard (which seems to be most of them) I

mistake.
CapsLock has its use, it's just that on a typical PC keyboard the key is
unnecessarily large and easy to reach. But it's simple enough to swap it
with -say- Esc. I've been doing just that on X11, Linux console and
OpenBSD console.
See: X11: xmodmap(1); Linux: loadkeys(1), keymaps(5);
OpenBSD: wsconsctl(8)
The one true key to the left of the ‘a’ key is Control. All other keyboards are
heretical.
