More importantly, most people don't use it for more than a few words at a time, so it wasn't a critical feature for Google to include. Additionally, Google and other manufacturers wanted to create a compact design for the Chromebooks, so extra keys had to go to make the keyboard smaller to fit the desired form factor of the laptop.&nbsp; However, while the Caps Lock key may be gone, the functionality is still there. It's just hidden inside Chrome OS.
