else, as Emacs and Vim users often do. As a consequence, Caps Word does not
follow the typical Caps Lock behaviour and may thus act in potentially
unexpected ways, especially when using an *OS* keyboard layout other than US
or UK. For example, Dvorak's <kbd>, <</kbd> key (`DV_COMM` aka `KC_W`) will
get shifted because Caps Word interprets that keycode as the letter 'W' by

capitalized because Caps Word interprets it as the semicolon ';' punctuation
character, and the US hyphen key (`KC_MINS`), while unaffected by Caps Lock,
is shifted by Caps Word. However, this is not really a problem because you can
