I want to remap my Caps Lock key. I know how to do this, this is not a question about How, this is a question about What. I want to remap it to something useful, not just disable it.

What could I remap it to? Something to make life easier. Do you guys have any suggestions? This is not limited to regular keys; special actions (or anything that's mappable) are welcome.

    All a matter of personal opinion. If you are going for uniqueness maybe consider CW.

    Personally I would like it to print a 100 dollar bill every time I press it, ;-) Now that would make life easier!

    @John T: I can't mark it as CW, I have to wait for a mod to come by.=/

  • Google's ChromeOS Cr-48 pilot laptop has a search key where the caps-lock key would be. Dec 17, 2010 at 20:21

Some games I play make use of the Tilde (~) for switching weapons. I find the Caps Lock key easier to get to quickly since the games make use of WSAD already, so I have it mapped to that. Even though the Tilde is only 2 keys above it, it is an awkward movement when you are aiming for speed.

  • I thought Caps Lock was used for crouch. Or have I just been away from games for too long? Dec 14, 2010 at 23:12
  • Crouch is usually Ctrl in the games I play. I guess it depends on regional settings and keyboard layout... as well as which games :)

  • @Ignacio: You've been away from games for a little too long. =) It's usually Ctrl now.

Playing a racing car sound, to remind you that Caps Lock is cruise control for cool.
