How to Turn Your Caps Lock Key into a Chrome OS-Style Search Key

The Caps Lock key is outdated and mostly useless. Most people will only ever trigger it accidentally. Google replaced the Caps Lock key with a Search key on its Chromebooks, and you can do the same thing on Windows.

There are ways to do this sort of thing with AutoHotkey, but we’ll show you how to do it without needing any third-party software running in the background.

If this doesn’t sound useful to you and you just want to get rid of your Caps Lock key, you could disable the Caps Lock key entirely.
