Ever go to hit 'a' and hit caps lock?

Make it so you have to hit caps twice quicly to engage and twice quickly to disengage.

       I never even use it. I always just hold shift WHENEVER I WANT TO TYPE LIKE AN IDIOT.

       If you actually know how to touchtype this should never happen to you. As you type you read the text on screen and the error is corrected before it becomes a problem.

       Usually by the time my brain has realised the mistake I'm halfway through the sentence. Although two taps would be horrible confusing. And what about languages abundant with 'aa's?

       Capslock obviously shouldn't be placed where it is. But then, most of the keys on Qwerty shouldn't be placed where they are. <3

       Just make hitting capslock disengage it if it's on, and if it's off, require a 1 or 2 second delay holding it before it's enabled.   

       (Or maybe make the capslock light flash when on.)

       Dammit, done it again!

       Maybe make all the other keys on the keyboard pop up 1 inch into the air when caps lock is pressed. This gives you a tactile, visual sense of what you are conveying.
