The next few features are somewhat esoteric, but if you think they might be useful, give them a try.

Ordinarily, when you push Caps Lock down, everything you type is capitalized; to get lowercase characters, you have to release Caps Lock. But by setting the Shift Caps/Lowercase option to Yes, you can have Caps Lock down and get lowercase characters by holding down Shift while you type. In other words, by activating this feature, Shift has the opposite effect that it does when Caps Lock is not pressed down.

When you hold down the Space bar, the space repeats like any other character, and you get a row of spaces. Likewise, when you hold down Delete, successive characters are deleted until you release the key. By setting Fast Space/Delete to Yes, you can double the speed of these two actions by holding down Control while holding down Space or Delete.

Setting the Dual Speed Keys option to Yes doubles the speed at which the cursor moves when you hold down an arrow key while pressing Control.

When you move the mouse across your desk, a pointer moves a corresponding distance across your screen. Setting the High Speed Mouse option to Yes makes the pointer move twice as far for the same movement of the mouse. It's useful if you're short on desk space.
