> BTW, why does caps lock even still exist?

Dunno, but in my country we use a QWERTZ layout where you can't write the letters Ě, Š, Č, Ř, Ž, Ý Á, Í, É without caps lock, because with Shift those keys produce 2, 3, 4, ..., 0

So that's why I need it. :)



Isn't this why Alt+Gr exist? I use US-International and you can do Alt+Gr + Shift for a different set of characters.


Alternatively you can do ˇ + E etc...
