Someone at google has OCD and is a grammer nazi.

I don't like it when people write in ALL CAPS, but it helps me easily identify the idiots without having to waste my time actually reading their idioticy.

This seems to be a rather shifty move.

























What?  It's like putting a big slab of meat in front of a hyena and expecting it to just walk away.

I fucking hate the caps lock key. I think it should be relocated to somewhere you CAN'T hit it by accident when you're reaching for Shift.

I also think the idea of activating capslock by hitting the shift key twice is RETARDED. RE FUCKING TARDED, THAT'S LIKE TARDED  TWICE. I shudder to think how many times in an average typing session I would accidentally double-tap that motherfucker (that's what she said!) and the screaming rage that would ensue.

It'll probably be easier to disable the double tap shift than the capslock key.

Actually, it looks easy enough, turning it back on would be harder:

I found the capslock key indispensable when I was a kid, and wasn't coordinated enough to press two buttons at once.  It makes things easier if you're on the "hunt and peck" typing strategy.

Doubletap is what you have to do on the damned iPhone to get it to capslock...which is probably what Nigel meant...

More like "Google wants to offer netbooks with less stupid keyboards."

I wish I could get a full-size keyboard without capslock.  It is useless.  And it is right next to the third most frequent character in my language.  What the fuck.  Let's just make a "select all and delete" key next to the enter key while we're being dumb.

THAT is what I'm talkin' 'bout.

Personally, I think that capslock should be a multi-key function. alt-shift-8 or some shit.

Some of my truly nerdy acquaintances are complaining that they use the capslock key as an extra ctrl or command key.  :lulz:

Nerds?  Complaining about things no reasonable person cares about?  Well I never.  :lol:

personally I hate the enter key being right next to the apostrophe.  Since it sends text in any IM and in IRC I end up with a posessive meaning I send half the post.

actually, I set my Capslock key to be an extra Escape key. Cause indeed I would also press it by accident. There were a whole bunch of options, and this one turned out to be marginally more useful than just disabling it.
