Also, I don’t see how the caps lock key as a modifier has anything to do with this subject. The caps lock key can’t launch pages or numbers for me with a single keystroke. It can’t open safari for me, and it sure can’t tell me the time. I am one that is against the caps lock key as a modifier for 2 reasons, 1. Quick nav pretty much takes care of having to use it or the vo keys. 2. It reminds me to much of the screen reader most of us left behind, why would I want to be reminded of that layout? JMO
