Personally I've yet to think of a single use for
Caps Lock and Num Lock.
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.
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)
