The easiest solution is to press Shift and CapsLock together. This will give you capital letters in ordinary typing, but if you hold down Shift it gives you lower case. I find this the most convenient way of programming. (If you don't get what I describe above, try pressing the two keys simultaneously again. Sometimes they don't "take".)

On my PC (Windows 8.1) the behaviour you describe is what happens when I press Caps Lock on its own. That is, in normal Caps Lock mode holding down Shift reverts to lowercase. I'm not sure whether Shift+CapsLock is supposed to do something different, but it doesn't seem to here.

Interesting. I never tried that.
Incidentally, some may wonder why I hold down shift when writing lower case. Would it not be as simple to hold down shift for writing upper case?
The answer is that variables often end with % (for integer variables) or $ (for string variables). As variables should be in lower case, doing it my way means that you can type x% without having to change your hold on the shift key. Thus i%?memlocation% can be typed all in one go while holding down shift from beginning to end.
