Copilot key will eventually be required in new PC keyboards, though not yet.

        That’s fair. You could still have that same functionality through something like double tapping the shift key (like it currently works on iPhones) but I guess that might also be hard for some people on a physical keyboard?

      No! I use the “Caps” key a hundred times a day! I have it mapped to output “Esc” though…

        I had it mapped to enter at one point for faster copy pasting of code. Ctrl+c, ctrl+v, pinky capslock enter, ctrl+c etc.

        Mine’s set to the Application/Menu key on tap, and as a Fn modifier when held, so the WASD keys act as the arrows, Q and E as PageUp/Down, and R and F as Home and End. It’s gotten so convenient I do that subconciously on keyboards that don’t do that, and I end up with SSSSSSSSS or EEEEEEEEEEE.

        I briefly used a chromebook with linux on at the start of last year as a sorta dumb terminal to my desktop until I could get something a bit better. The keyboard was one of the pros, despite all the flex.

        On my main laptop I now bind caps lock to super and, since it has an ansi keyboard and I live in the UK, I bind the windows key to compose. It has changed my typing significantly for the better.

        I know they did, and I’ve only heard praise for it.

        I’ve even remapped my caps lock on my Mac to be another modifier key. I can still tap it to toggle caps lock, but I don’t think I’ve ever used it for that.

      Google did this for ChromeOS and I think it’s great. You get the old function with Alt+Search.
