I have never once in the last few years even felt a need to have a caps
lock. It's a wonderfuly useful piece of plastic to press, bound to
justabout the least useful behaviour I can possibly imagine.

Most people seem to rebind it to some other function:

  * Escape [useful in vim]

  * Control [useful to avoid curling your fingers weirdly]

  * A new modifier; such as Super or Hyper

I do the latter - all my window manager shortcuts use Hyper, which is
bound to the Caps Lock key. This leaves all combinations of Ctrl and Alt
untouched, meaning applications [such as (g)vim] can use them.
