Dave Horsfall scripsit:
Personally I've yet to think of a single use for
Caps Lock and Num Lock.
It was essential in the transition period when keyboards had acquired
upper and lower case but operating systems only understood upper case.
Since then it has been nothing but a nuisance.
Whenever I get stuck with a M$ keyboard (which seems
to be most of them) I
prise off a few irritating keys so that I don't hit the poxy things by
mistake.
The echt-MS keyboard I am using right now under Windows 7 has a driver
that lets me disable Caps Lock, and so I have done.
