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. – John T Dec 14 '10 at 23:05

Personally I would like it to print a 100 dollar bill every time I press it, ;-) Now that would make life easier! – Moab Dec 14 '10 at 23:13

@John T: I can't mark it as CW, I have to wait for a mod to come by.=/ – Bruce Connor Dec 14 '10 at 23:19
Google's ChromeOS Cr-48 pilot laptop has a search key where the caps-lock key would be. – Dennis Williamson Dec 17 '10 at 20:21

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

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? – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Dec 14 '10 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 :) – John T Dec 14 '10 at 23:15
@Ignacio: You've been away from games for a little too long. =) It's usually Ctrl now. – Bruce Connor Dec 14 '10 at 23:19
