Why is CAPSLOCK still a key on the keyboard?

[Data-Hawk]

PROGRAMMERS USE THE fukk OUT OF IT.

Readability.

What should be used in the future is @hotmail.com or @gmail.com keys. So when u filling shyt out and they ask for your email,you just type in your email name and hit the @gmail.com or @hotmail.com button. Matter of fact,those two should replace scroll and number lock.

What's next the space bar?

I'd trade a capslock button for a .com button any day...

If you hold shift and hit return it will add www. and .com to whatever you type. For example, type "nfl" then hold shift and hit return and it'll load nfl.com.

Well that's how it works in Chrome. FF has shortcuts too but I haven't used it in a while and forgot.

Chrome already fills out my email address for me

caps lock and num lock still have uses. scroll lock is straight up useless

what does scroll lock do again?

what does scroll lock do again?

it changed the function of the arrow keys. instead of moving the cursor around, they would scroll the page

now we have scroll bars and mouse wheels for that

A .com button?

It'd be faster for me to simply type out the letters than to think about where it's at on a keyboard.

so it does nothing?

what u need a .com button for when ctrl+enter does that for you

num lock isnt useless

it doesnt just lock the numbers, it toggles between you being able to invoke end/delete/pgup/pgdown/insert from that button group

pretty much

even worse keyboards still have an indicator that lets you know if the useless function is on or off

Google agrees with me
