The continuing saga of how to kill the Caps Lock key.
You recall I was going to offer a prize, a fine map of the health districts
in WA state to anyone who could tell me how to kill my caps lock key. Big
fingers, or a miniscule cerebellum, I keep hitting the thing only to look up
and see upper where lower and lower where upper case should be. Drives
(drove) me nuts.
I had a total of 29 suggestions on how to do it. Some involved going into
the registry, fooling with various re-mapping scripts, trying out many, many
free/share/pay-for-it-ware programs to do it, and arcane tweaking of the
innards of NT or WIN 98 that went far beyond OS surgery I was willing to
perform. One resident program did the trick, used a megabyte of memory and
slowed my machine to a crawl. Word 2000 is smart enough to know when you
have hit the Caps Lock and automatically corrects the error. bUT EMAIL
DOESN"T. (thanks Bill - you must have this problem too) I looked at a
programmable keyboard with super ergonomic characteristics As suggested),
and one is on the way, but for wrists and fingers and maybe Caps Lock turn
off to boot. But there was ONE person - i just tossed his/her email away as
frivolous - that, in the end, gave the quick, simple, and totally effective
solution. If that person will identify themselves with an address a fine WA
State health map will be yours.
The solution? yes guessed it. Take a thin blade knife and ... pry it off.
