Is it possible to kill the "Caps Lock" key with a modification to windows? or even better reassign it to something else? Since its such a big key it would be another nice spam-able emergency button. For example many keyboard manufacturers have a switch to enable/disable the windows key. I could just remove the physical key but i was looking for something with a little more finesse.

As for altering theactual behavior of CapsLock that would probably take some sort of registry hack I'm guessing.
Found something. I'll try it out when i get home. Hope it works. (http://www.askvg.com/force-capslock-numlock-and-scrolllock-keys-behavior-using-windows-registry/)

CapsLock is able to be bound right through WoW's keybinding interface but, it still toggles CAPITAL letters. As for altering the
actual behavior of CapsLock that would probably take some sort of registry hack I'm guessing.

I actually use CapsLock as a hotkey toggle. When it's off, I'm broadcasting as normal, when it's on, I'm broadcasting all keys to all windows for emotes and reloads and the like. I've also used it to toggle between AOE DPS and ST DPS, both to swap the keys/macros it's calling and to have mouse broadcasting enabled for dropping Targeted AOE. It's nice to have the CapsLock light as a visual indication.

I couldn't tell you how to do it with ISBoxer, but since I can do it with HKN, I'd guess ISBoxer can do it too.

Autohotkey does this quite easily.
