Here's one more suggestion for an addition to Lines. The text in input puts in output from character 1 to the last delimiter (space, hyphen, period, etc.) before character 138 with a continuation character like " …" (space+ellipsis character, U+2026) or " ►" (space+black right pointer, U+25BA) appended at the end for copying to clipboard and pasting into twitter and not exceed the 140-character limit. I do this manually at the mo. I could cut the tweet to the clipboard, then press the button to put the remaining text into the input box to parcel out the next tweet.

so input box would have

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

and output box would show

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable ►

Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

The first break is at the last delimiter before 138 characters--in this example, the total length is 136 characters. The middle box would have the continuation character of choice, like " ►". This would be very handy as i am an avid twitterholic  :D.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I've remapped (well, not me, just adapted from "I can no longer remember where") Capslock to CTRL, and then use ALT+Capslock to activate All Caps, when necessary. So maybe this can be modified to what you're after.

[Select]

; ALT+ALL CAPS; ALL CAPS turned to CTRL  |

!Capslock::Capslock
Capslock::Control

P.S. This is an AutoHotkey script.

Thanx, Dr. I tried that one first myself, but it too was sabotaged by my Dell's on-screen 4-second caps lock status display. Not knowing that is why i was attracted to this thread in the first place. I liked the premises stated by OP hgondalf, making CapsLock key act like a shift key and toggling CapsLock state with Ctrl+CapsLock, and i liked the AHK script by AfterLemon that fullfilled that in his very first post in this forum―Welcome! i'm learning AHK by examining other people's programs so i enjoyed figuring out that script. i especially appreciated MilesAhead's suggestion of a solution to my Dell keyboard dilemma. So your AHK remapping would have been satisfactory if i'd already turned off Dell's display…but then i'd have never read this thread.
 :D

It's a Dell with Intel graphics, and i think the focus goes off the active window for an On-Screen Notifier, a little lock on/off symbol that pops up in the lower right corner of the screen, for both Caps Lock and Num Lock. it stays on for 4 seconds, then vanishes, returning focus to the active window. i'm now searching for a way to turn that infernal thing off, but so far, it's controls have not been anywhere i'd expect it to be.
