Turn off the Caps-Lock key

I HATE THE CAPS_LOCK KEY!!!! I don’t like it when people send me messages with full caps and I don’t like accidentally pressing it and then sending messages to other people who then think I am yelling at them. It also wastes too much keyboard space and is in an easy place to accidentally hit. Time to get rid of it.

The following method is for Fedora 15 but will probably work on other Gnome 3 systems.:
Click on the user menu on the top right. Select System Settings
Region and Language -> Layouts -> Options -> Caps Lock key behaviour.

There are several different options but I am going with Disabled for the time being.

Now if I want to yell at someone I need to put in a little more effort but maybe that will make the world a better place :-)
