The Caps Lock button on MacBooks knows if you really want to press it. (alien.top)

Try to hit your CAPS Lock button as if it's a mistake and see what happens. Mine is reading my mind.

The difference between unintentional hit and an intentional one is very slight, but it knows :)

Yo what, I thought it mine was just slightly broken

Same! I use caps lock a lot and use it like any other key so I thought it was jammed or broken or something.

I’m sure the simple answer is data or code input, but I like to imagine you’re either really angry or a hobbyist Amazon reviewer and that’s why caps lock is dear to you. Or maybe a twitter club promoter?

For me, I just developed the bad habit of using the caps lock key instead of the shift key. So when I’m typing, I always use the caps lock key to capitalize the first letter of a sentence instead of holding shift down. At this point it’s so ingrained in me I can’t really get myself out of the habit. Some other user posted a script that eliminates the delay and it’s a breath of fresh air
