my keyboard doesn't have a caps lock. it's the best place for a control key and there's no reason to re-map it because caps lock hasn't been useful since the telegram office closed. also, i slightly messed up my leftmost finger in a (very, very minor) bike accident yesterday so a lot of caps are irritating to type today. i'm going to e e cummings my way through this day. we'll see if anybody notices.

The best way to Celebrate Caps Lock Day is quite simple, don’t use caps lock! Even better, remind your friends on social media, MMO’s, and every other medium you can imagine about the horrid habit that is using Caps Lock in communications.
You can also start an ironic campaign of using CAPS LOCK all day to make a more blatant statement about how this makes other people look. Send your memes, poke your friends, let them all know that it’s time to embrace proper grammar and stop looking like a complete half-wit.
Metafilter: Option B.

I have a button on a MS Access form that concatenates a bunch of fields and copies them to the windows clipboard, and that code (SendKeys "^c") also toggles my CAPS LOCK, NUM LOCK, and SCROLL LOCK lights. It doesn't actually turn off CAPS, if I'm typing capital letters already, but it does actually switch the number pad inputs to the arrows. I have to press this button twice to turn my CAPS AND NUM locks and/or lights back on. That is all.
