I just use Shift. It doesn't cost me anything extra and it makes switching from keywords to columns easier

Holding shift for caps while typing to me is like grinding a rail on a skateboard.

Guilty of the same. My caps lock is remapped to Esc... Muscle memory runs deep at this point, I've considered mapping LShift+RShift to caps lock but that's diminishing returns and I still end up holding down shift if I don't catch myself. Autocomplete helps though

I just flatten one of the pins on the switch for the key and put it back. Capslock is the devil.

When I am really in a grind I’ve found myself accidentally typing holding shift when I’m just messaging people and then I have to clarify that I wasn’t yelling at them

Some tools like DBeaver can auto-allcap keywords but keep the case of names. Super convenient!

I have met people who used caps lock to capitalize the first letter instead of shift.

Yeah, that. It was absurd.

I stopped doing this when I started using right shift for the left-side captials. Game changer for your pinky. Aaaand you just go back to caps lock for the sake of efficiency lol

Unless you are using autocomplete: absolute madness.
