When people who press caps lock to capitalize a single letter, like at the start of a sentence.
There is at least one exception in my opinion where this is acceptable: when writing special characters with diacritics etc. (for example รฉ, ร ), caps-lock can help capitalizing these letters since they often already require shift to be pressed. I'm aware that there are other ways (i.E. type the diacritic first, then the letter), but the caps-lock way seems easier to me.
