How frequently do we really use the Caps Lock key?, This is one of the
best positioned keys in our keyboard, as it rests next to the A key,
however, in this space we have this Caps Lock key that we seldom
utilize. For those who type without looking at the keyboard it is an
even more important space, as it is readily available with a minor
movement of the left pinky. I am sure that there are people who do
utilize it in a daily basis, but it is my understanding that this is a
minority.
But this can be easily changed in Linux. And believe me, you wont regret
this change once you grow accustomed to it. For a Vim user there is no
question about what to do with this key, we can swap it for the Escape
key, or turn it into a second Escape key, although I personally didn't
want to lose the functionality so I just swapped it. Other possible uses
are to turn it into another Backspace key, or into a Control key, we can
even give it the functionality of a multimedia key.
