If you have “Help” instead of “Ins”, replace it with Overgod-tier. Keep pressing it, it will come.

OC, feel free to share.

EDIT; Home is now G-od tier. I didn’t know it would go to the beginning of a line, I always used macros “lol”.

I use all of these except ScrollLock.

What about the CapsLock key? Windows menu key?

Capslock is mandatory. Acronyms, report writing with key words, and programming all make heavy use of fully capitalized words.

COBOL is not a current program language anymore.

Capslock is great for writing SQL.

I write a ton of SQL. I never use my CapsLock key.

SQL doesn’t need to be upper case, in fact I loathe upper case SQL.

Caps lock is great for rebinding to Ctrl

Yeah that’s a common one. If you’re into mechanical keyboards, there are a lot of keycap sets that offer an alternative Control key for the CapsLock position.

Personally I rebind it to Super (Winkey). I have a couple of keyboards without Windows keys, so I can still have a Super key and don’t miss out on some handy shortcuts.

I also use it for Esc which is really convenient for Vim

I work in an architecture firm, and whenever we put text on the plans, it’s always in ALL CAPS. It’s a niche use-case, but Caps Lock has saved my pinkie finger from getting sore holding down shift for hours a day
