 HELLO?

 FOR THE HTTP://CAPSLOCKDAY.COM/ I DISCOVERED THE CAPS LOCK BEHAVIOR IS NOT
 REALLY WORKING WELL? IT4S WORKING LIKE ON WINDOWS BUT NOT LIKE ON LINUX OR
 MAC OS X; LET ME EXPLAIN/
 WHEN WE ENABLE CAPS LOCK? IT SHOULD ONLY AFFECT THE LETTERS? AND NOT
 BEHAVE LIKE WE TYPE WITH THE SHIFT KEY; 5TYPING IN CAPS LOCK IS ALREADY
 UTTERLY ANNOYING READERS? IF WE MAKE TYPO IT4S EVEN MORE ANNOYING CAN YOU
 IMAGINE;;;°

 Especially missing is the feature to type accented letters in capital
 letters, on modern OS when typing "voilà" we should get "VOILÀ", not
 "VOIL0" ("0" being the letter above the "à" on the french keyboard). The
 same goes for the punctuation, a "," should remain a "," in capslock, not
 "?" like when we type on shift.
