Ben Pfaff: [...] > I guess I'm the only person who actually uses Caps Lock. No, you're not. Just yesterday I met someone who uses Caps Lock, I gave him a user account. He slowly went crazy when he failed the third time in a row to enter a valid password. (Policy here forces users to have passwords with upper and lower case letters [and additionally other chars].) The password checker always complained that he didn't have any upper case letters in his password but the new user insisted he had. Then I realised that he used Caps Lock to enter upper case letters... but there is no Caps Lock on my machine, it's mapped to Escape [1]. :-) Next time I'll warn new users about my setup. Ralf [1] I use Vi[m], this setup allows faster typing.
