discoveries I've made recently has been http://www.anticapslock.com/
...where they have blazed the trail in saving us frOM THE evILS of cAPSLoCK! :D
One good friend here (sennard) actually wrote one I used for years, but it only worked on WIN95... I loved it though, and have been looking for another good one since .. *warble*

The one I have been testing is at http://www.taniwha.org.uk and it works great on the mac!
Hopefully one of those at the first site can help some of you out too...

take care!

Why is the capslock evil?

that's a figure uv speech.. *wink*

It's rare that it's needed (at least for me), and far more often the button is accidentally grazed, causing a long row of undesIRED CAPITAL LETTers, like that. :/

Older (ADB) macintoshes had a typewriter style keyboard, wherein the caps lock could not be activated unless one consciously pushed it down into a locked position, thus, the caps LOCK.
Newer cheaper (USB) keyboards have removed this feature, and so if one never used caps lock, it's nice to have it disabled.
When I need caps, I usually just use the Shift key.

I never had that problem myself so it never occurred to me that it would be for other people. I use the shift key as well. Being able to program keys sound cool.
