Not really: This is the result for keys pressed in a cmd.exe: If Ctrl-f is pressed (Ctrl key is originally Caps Lock), then you simply get an uppercase F (like when pressed Shift-f). If Caps Lock is pressed once (Caps Lock key is originally Ctrl key), then all following keys are interpreted as escaped letters (like when pressed with Ctrl normally): * press Caps Lock once * type f -> get ^F * type g -> get ^G * press Caps Lock once again to undo this behaviour Note: There is also a registry hack under windows to swap the Ctrl and Caps Lock keys which does makes things even more confusing though.
