there was an old riddle I saw on usenet, "there is a key I use for one of its intended purposes several times a day, but when it stopped working I never missed it. what key was that?". the answer was the caps lock key, one of whose intended purposes was reverting back to normal after accidentally pressing it to go into caps mode.
I rebind capslock on all my new computers, usually to ctrl or cmd.
Mine is usually Esc or, when it’s an option, “Esc when pressed, Ctrl when held”.
