Then you have a very limited imagination. There are lots of reasons that people need and use caps lock.

Off the top of my head-- Broadcast jorunalism. Every news story you hear on TV or radio is written in all caps. The same is true of the speeches by most professional public speakers.

But do they need to quickly switch it on and off? If you read more of my post, you will see that I address this very point.

I'm sad to say it's still very commonly used by CAD jockeys, as graphical conventions dictate that much of the textual detail in construction documents should be in all-caps. Of course you'd think a "sophisticated" BIM system like Revit could handle this for you automatically, and yet...

In that case wouldn't you just turn capslock on and do your work? Or do you need to turn it on and off constantly?

If not, moving capslock to the touch bar is not a real problem.
