Re: Caps Lock position

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

I thought I had sent this admittedly weird suggestion
before, but I don't see it here, so I'm sending it again. Is it possible
that the capslock key is just too big? If so could you either replace it
with a smaller one or just physically cut it down?




I use AutoHotKey (free), which
Harry has sung the praises of, to disable capslock; works like a
charm.

Has anyone got advice on an apparently insoluble problem?



On the New XPS 15 w/3200x1800 screen I'm testing, I find that I often
press the caps lock kay (remapped to control) by accident. This leads to
a lot of accidents in Eudora. (Eudora, by the way, works fine in
3200x1800 mode under Win 8.1 - - it seems that it is automatically
superscaled so that everything, including all the icons, looks
normal.)



I can't imagine why I have so many problems with this keyboard. Maybe
I just need more time to get used to it. The geometry of the keyboard
doesn't seem to be particularly unusual, but I have not yet made precise
measurements.



I intend to start using an external keyboard more, but I must admit
that one of the great things about this very light, very capable laptop
is how easy it is to tote it around the house to, often, more comfortable
sitting positions.
