EDIT (2024-08-10T19:23Z): I should clarify that I am referring to the layout that you use for a physical computer keyboard, not a mobile/virtual keyboard.

What do you mean? It's just a layout. How would it vary depending on the OS?

Under pros and cons:

Capslock is Backspace (Linux only) Shift+Capslock is Escape (Linux only)

Under pros and cons

Ah, okay! I didn't see that. Good to know.

Quite funny that, assumedly, Windows prevents those things from being remapped. I personally love that the Capslock key got changed to the Backspace key. It's so much more comfortable.

I'm buying a new (programmable) keyboard for the sole purpose of remapping capslock to backspace. Been using that for years and now my new employer forces me to use Windows where this isn't possible without Avon rights - it drives me insane how often I end up LIKE THIS;

I ended up buying a programmable keyboard. I split space in half and moved backspace under my right thumb. I'm never going back. It's so nice
