I removed the caps lock key from my keyboard. I never use it, and I hate accidentally hitting it.

THERE'S TWO SHIFT KEYS. YOU HAVE TO SPECIFY WHICH ONE YOU'RE HOLDING DOWN, OTHERWISE YOU DON'T COUNT!

LEFT SIDE SHIFT KEY. IT'S REALLY CLOSE TO CAPS LOCK.
I JUST TRIED TYPING WITH BOTH HELD DOWN. IT DIDN'T WORK.

Interesting. With both shifts down, only some of my keys work. Observe:

I I POIBE O PE WIH BOH HI OWN BU ON H HE E WOR!

(translation: It is possible to type with both shifts down but only half the keys work!)

Why is this?

Test: BCEGHIMNOPQRUVWXZ

17/26 letters work.

QWER(t)(y)UIOP
(a)(s)(d)(f)GH(j)(k)(l)
ZXCVBNM

And the majority of those that don't are on the second level of keys.

Hm.

I THINK IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH HOW THE KEYBOARD SWITCHES FROM CAPS TO LOWERCASE.

I went searching but didn't find out anything about the shift key except some smart-aleck who'd written some kind of "answers to questions about the shift key" funny thing.

Ah well.

EDIT: Sorry kai? what was that? is it because I'm not participating? [Wink]

I'M NOT A FAN OF SHOUTING, BUT I'M MOST INTRIGUED WITH THIS SHIFT-KEY ISSUE.

I AM THE LORD OF ALL CAPS LOCK. I TYPE IN CAPS ALL THE TIME FOR SOME REASON OR ANOTHER. I DO IT TO ANNOY MY FRIENDS MOSTLY WHEN I AM TALKING TO THEM ON AIM. IT'S PRETTY FUN BECAUSE NOBODY CAN YELL AT YOU FOR NOT CAPITOLIZING THINGS. THAT IS SOMETHING I AM VERY GOOD AT. GRAMMAR ISN'T ONE OF MY STRENGTHS. I WILL PROBABLY SPEND TWENTY MINUTES JSUT TRYING TO CORRECT ALL OF THE MISTAKES I HAVE MADE IN THIS ONE POST.

ANYWAY.....

GO YANKS

I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF METS FANS OUT THERE THAT USED TO BE DODGERS FANS, WHEN THE DODGERS WERE ON THE EAST COAST. I'M A METS FAN B/C I WAS BORN TOO LATE TO BE A BKLYN DODGERS FAN.

THE QUESTION IS IF YOU CAN ACTUALLY HEAR YELLING IN YOUR HEAD WHEN YOU READ THIS? THAT WOULD BE AN INTERESTING INVESTIGATION INTO HUMAN PERCEPTION. I MEAN, WHY DON'T WE CONSIDER italic words as whispering?

You know, if it were really a caps lock key, it would stay on all caps even when you hit the shift key.

Exactly. That merans that things are NOT locked into capitals. In other words, the caps are not locked.

edit: I'm not saying it's a bad design -- I'm just saying that it can't be accurately described as a caps lock.

I DON'T THINK THEY COULD FIT 'CAPS LOCK UNLESS SHIFT IS HELD' ONTO THE KEY.
