Ctrl vs CapsLock
From WikiVS, the open comparison website
I feel the need to use a CapsLock key about once a year -- maybe twice a year at most. I use the Ctrl key every day. Yet the CapsLock key is giant and is located where the Ctrl key should be.
A. Different keyboards put these keys in different places. My Microsoft Natural keyboard has a larget CTRL key on the bottom left corner, right where I like it.
Also, the caps lock key doesn't have to be a caps lock key. It's a very useful key to map as a mode changer in vim.
