So do i

I have a problem with Uppercase accent letter in French though. Caps lock is a must have
Having a capslock key for the function row may be nice but more expensive ...


If you have any interest please tell me how many keys you would like.

I'd be in for one of these at least. This is what I wanted from the last vim group buy. Also, if they could match the Filco profile, that'd rock

+1.  Not really interested in another spherical vim cap.

I don't use caps lock either. However, I still think it's desirable for a caps lock key to be available because some programs set caps lock to on or off. If you don't have a caps lock key then there's always the danger that caps lock could accidentally be set to on and you'd have no easy way of turning it off.

That being said, it might be possible to fix the problem with key remapping, assuming the PS/2 standard doesn't require caps lock to be a dedicated key. For example you could set up a keymap so that pressing ALT-GR + the Vim key sent a caps lock keycode. Has anyone actually tried this?

DrTrivial:
I would be in for two caps lock vim keys if this ever goes through.
