I have no capslock and I must scream

Or in vim you type `constant_name`, followed by `Esc gUb`. ('g' go, 'U' uppercase, 'b' back one word.)

That's still 3 extra key strokes, including a key combination, to go from writing the constant name back to writing the next word (with caps lock: caps lock, constant_name, caps lock; without caps lock: constant_name, Esc, g, shift+u, b, i - you also need w, i to get back to the end of CONSTANT_NAME and keep typing). Also, switching mode, applying a command, then switching mode again versus pressing a key for uppercase and pressing it again for lowercase is a much bigger distraction from my point of view (emacs user) but maybe you actually get used to that using vim.

FWIW, "Caps Lock" is modal.

e.g. the Wikipedia page lists "Caps Lock" as a common example of mode errors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_(user_interface)#Mode_err...

(No vim = not worrying about insert/normal mode; no capslock = no worrying about if tapping 'a' gives 'A' or 'a').

True, but at least to me switching between CAPS MODE and lowercase mode is less distracting than switching between editing and command/visual modes.
