Would is also be nice if Emacs converted keys bound to normal commands
back to their lower-case variant when Caps Lock is active?
For instance, I've got C-x B bound to another function (switch-to-
buffer-here). When Caps Lock is on, Emacs reads C-x B even though I
did not use the shift key. While this is logical from a programmer's
perspective, as a user I often have Caps Lock on by mistake, causing
regular mixups.
(You may criticize the useless Caps Lock key, you may comment on the
poor choice of the C-x B key-binding (it's only an example), but one
has little control over these things one for various reasons.)
