follow the typical Caps Lock behaviour and may thus act in potentially

capitalized because Caps Word interprets it as the semicolon ';' punctuation
character, and the US hyphen key (`KC_MINS`), while unaffected by Caps Lock,
is shifted by Caps Word. However, this is not really a problem because you can
