caps lock but that toggles itself off after a single character. it's made for people who have dexterity issues and cannot hold multiple keys at the same time.

No way I've been living for 3 decades and using computers for 2, and I am learning this information in 2023...

It only lasts for one character, it works on all characters (for instance Caps Lock won't change a "2" India an "@"), and it also works for other modifier keys like "Ctrl" and "Alt."

It's an accessibility feature. If you only have 1 hand, for instance, some shortcuts would be impossible without it.

Or if you're arthritic or have a hand injury and holding down multiple keys is painful/stretching digits to reach shortcuts is painful.

Not exactly. Using capslock is more cumbersome because you have to press it, then type your letter, then press it again. It doesn't sound like much, but imagine if the caps button on your phone worked like that. Press it once and you TYPE LIKE THIS UNTIL YOU PRESS IT again

On the other hand, if you do want to type like that on a phone, double-tap the caps button and it stays capitalized. (I don't know if this works on all phones).
