The VT consoles still support it. They literally lock scrolling the output
buffer, which can be useful when debugging anything spamming the VT. This is
outside of KDE, though. On the desktop, tbh I don't have a use for it - yet.
I'm getting into macro programming with keyd and similar tools which could use
it for a macro layer (my keyboard doesn't even have the key, I had to create a
macro to toggle it). Also, terminal emulators can likely be scripted to honor
it like VT does (sending ^Q and ^S when toggled).

So for most users the key really is obsolete, which is also what Lenovo noticed
and removed it entirely from ThinkPads. Now I feel old in addition to my
keyboard lacking a key ...
