						 <p>There's one language for which Caps Lock is needed - Hebrew. To type Hebrew vowel points (a.k.a. Niqqud) one has to press Caps Lock and then Shift-(Number) to type the vowel. It is quite ridiculous, but that's the de facto standard in Windows and Macs. Ubuntu has a different solution for that (AltGr; not perfect, but better than Caps Lock), but we all know that Windows is far more common.</p> <p>In fact, it is so ridiculous that few people even bother to type the vowel points. They are not required in most texts, but are sometimes needed.</p> <p>I already contacted the Standards Institute of Israel with a proposal to change it, but the current situation remains. So please be aware of this in your campaign.</p>

						 <p>Thanks for the FAQ, but it doesn't explain WHY the CAPSlock is bad, only how to get rid of it or<br /> alternatives to it.</p> <p>What's so bad about the CAPS lock? Why should it bother me? Do you know some idea about typing<br /> better that you're not sharing with me?</p> <p>I already type DVORAK. Are you telling me there's some even better way to type?</p>

						 <h2> How to deactivate the Caps Lock key on X.org/XFree? </h2> <p> To deactivate the irksome Caps Lock key on X.org, XFree and presumably other X11 servers, the <tt>xmodmap</tt> utility is used to remove the <tt>Caps_Lock</tt> keysym from the <tt>lock</tt> modifier class:<br /> <tt>xmodmap -e "remove lock = Caps_Lock"</tt><br /> The xmodmap utility unbinds the Caps Lock key from the lock modifier class temporarily, thus it needs to be executed every time you restart your X session.<br /> To save the changes permanently as the global default, append the xmodmap expression to your global Xmodmap file (usually <tt>/etc/X11/Xmodmap</tt>). To save them only for your own user, append the expression to your <tt>~/.xmodmaprc</tt> file. </p> <h2> How to reconfigure the Caps Lock key on X.org/XFree to do [insert action here]? </h2> <p> There are several actions people would like the Caps Lock key to perform instead of doing the Caps Lock, suggested are (among others) another Ctrl key (Happy Hacker layout) or a second Backspace or Enter key. We assume you already unbound your Caps Lock key from the <tt>lock</tt> modifier class as described above ("How to deactivate the Caps Lock key on X.org/XFree?").<br /> The key can easily be transformed to another Ctrl key by adding it to the <tt>control</tt> modifier class: <tt>xmodmap -e "add control = Caps_Lock"</tt><br /> To transform it to a second Enter/Return key, overwrite the Caps Lock key's keycode with the <tt>Return</tt> keysym (keycode 66 on common keyboard layouts): <tt>xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = Return"</tt><br /> If you want it to become a second Backspace key instead, replace the <tt>Return</tt> keysym name in the example above by <tt>BackSpace</tt>.<br /> See also "How to deactivate the Caps Lock key on X.org/XFree?" on how to make changes permanent. </p>
