I mean, you can disable the CAPS function and
do something else with it. Here, it outputs 'a'
but you can put your shell do do something,
execute a function for example, based on the
key that is outputted. But then 'a' is probably
a poor choise as you'd want that for normal use
still :)

I once had I Sun keyboard with a whole extra
set of keys to the left of the Ctrl, Shift,
Caps Lock, Tab, '`', and Esc keys' column.
At first I was excited about them, and
I programmed them to do various things.
But soon I realized it was meaningless because
it was better to just use shortcuts instead of
moving your hand that "far" to hit a single
key. At that point, disappointed, I used my
angle grinder to dispose of that part of
the keyboard.
