Caps Lock vs Delete

[adderthorn]

First new mac in a long time. I've noticed that Apple has decided that accidental usage of caps lock is a problem they can fix by making caps lock engage only with a slightly longer-than-normal press. This infuriated me since I use the key a lot. I found a solution by using Accessibility to enable Slow Keys and turning the key duration to zero.

However this solution removed my ability to hold the delete key to rapidly delete a lot of text, another frustration. My question is there a way to disable the longer-than-normal press for caps lock without affecting other key behavior?

Not to be mean about it, but are you using caps lock where just using the shift key would do?

As for deleting more text... alt+delete deletes the word, cmd+delete deletes the line.

I write a lot of SQL which uses a lot of caps phrases, instead of holding shift I've become good at tapping caps lock quickly on and off.

Thanks for the tips on Alt+Delete! I've recently found the same with arrows works to move around words, on Windows Ctrl+arrows handles this and I'm very used to using this function.
