Re: Caps Lock position

[Bill Troop billtroop@xxxxxxxx]

That is an interesting suggestion. Certainly there is something the
matter with it. It may that a US (this is a UK) keyboard would be
better. I am not at all sure, in this case, how easy it would be to
shave down the key, or even remove it. Of course it's a neo-chicklet
keyboard - - and not, I must admit too bad as such. Normally I adjust
to a new keyboard within a few minutes. This is the first one to baffle me.

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.
