Oh, yes... to input specific characters or disable caps lock, one needs to hack the registry with hex codes...
Stunning Windows goes still as user-friendly.
Edit: If you were lacking a reason to try modern Linux user Interfaces, try GNOME desktop with PaperWM. It works great on my 40' display....
You can use PowerToys for Windows to (among other things) disable caps lock. I’m no fan of Microsoft, but they do provide PowerToys for free and there is a lot of useful stuff in it.
PowerToys is the sole reason I somewhat get along with binbows on my work laptop.
I love powertoys. It's potentially (along with C#/.Net) the best thing Microsoft have made.
Should I applaud them for collecting a bunch of open source tools, which should never even have to be written and instead included in the OS, and bundling them in PowerToys?
Well... You do? It's a software for a small userbase, mostly for edge-case scenarios - there's no wonder why it's not built-in. Nonetheless, it's a first-party, very good software that was created with a big love.
PowerToys is incredible. It would be good if we saw suits like this for other platforms.
I linked to the top search result.
I mean I get we are supposed to hate Windows here but highlighting a specific thing that very few people would even want to try and use that as a reason to doubt it's user friendliness is just picking at straws. There's tons of reasons that Windows can be interpreted as not user friendly already.
