Disable Caps Lock
http://johnhaller.com/jh/useful_stuff/disable_caps_lock/
Now you can disable your Caps Lock key in Windows... without any special software, and without having to pry the key off with a screwdriver. Read on to find out how. I also have a page on how to disable the Windows key.
Background
Accidentally hitting the Caps Lock key when typing up an email or coding can be maddening. Most people never use it anyway, so why not disable it? In Windows, you can by adding some keyboard scancode mapping information to your Windows registry. The complete details are at annoyances.org. To make it even easier, I decided to add some .REG files so you can disable your shift key yourself without needing to muck around with the registry.
Compatibility
This method of disabling the Caps Lock key works with all modern Windows variants: Windows 2000, Windows XP Pro & Home and Windows 2003. It will not work with older versions.
Warnings
- These files are provided without warranty. Use them at your own risk.
- These files will overwrite any keyboard mappings you currently have.
- .REG files update your Windows registry. Incorrect changes to the registry may damage Windows or other installed software. Be sure you know what a given .REG file contains before merging it into the registry.
- These files are unsupported, please do not contact me with questions on their use.
Installation / Files
The following files are .reg files. They modify the Windows registry directly. You should download them to your PC and then double-click them to add them to your registry. After saying YES to the message box, reboot your machine and enjoy freedom from Caps Lock annoyances.
- Change Caps Lock into a SHIFT key: caps_lock_to_shift.reg
- For the UNIX Folks:
- Change Caps Lock into a Control key: caps_lock_to_control.reg
- Swap Caps Lock and the left Control key: swap_caps_lock_and_control.reg
- Disable Caps Lock entirely: disable_caps_lock.reg
- UNINSTALL: Change Caps Lock Back to Caps Lock: remove_scancode_mappings.reg (Removes all scancode mappings) *This file is also useful for completely reseting all key remappings on a PC with oddly mapped keys.
Note: You cannot combine this with my method for disabling the Windows key as it will replace those scancode mappings.

Shortcuts for Special Gmail Labels
In Gmail every built-in view (e.g.: inbox, trash, read mail) is actually a label. So if you want to view all the unread messages from the inbox, you could search for: label:inbox label:unread.
You can combine these built-in labels with your labels and create interesting queries. But these queries can become long and hard to write. Fortunately, you can replace label with l and everything with still work fine. The previous query will become: l:inbox l:unread.
If you still think the query is too long, Gmail has shortcuts for the special labels.
^b chats
^f sent mail
^i inbox
^k trash
^r draft
^s spam
^t starred messages
^u unread mail
That means our query could become: l:^i l:^u. What about all the unread messages that aren't in the inbox? Search for: -l:^i l:^u.

mute the conversation with the Gmail keyboard shortcut "m"
The message is immediately removed from the Inbox view and all future messages (with similar subject line) will be archived automatically.
You can search for muted messages using the search operator - is:muted And unless your email address is in the To: or CC: field, that email thread will never touch your Gmail inbox again.
Muted unread mail, search using this query "label:^g is:unread"
