Well, it might help you to get used to it to obliterate the caps lock functionality altogether. On my keyboards, I like the key next to the 'a' to be a control key, and I also leave the key at the bottom left a control key as well. I've never missed caps lock. If I ever needed to shout a whole line of text, I'd just use vi's ~ or a pipe to tr or some such. Honestly, it's never come up, and my shift keys work just fine =) good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- http://www.aclu.org/ It's all about Freedom.
