Caps lock can already be disabled in mate-keyboard-properties:
Layouts tab > Options... > Caps Lock key behavior
capslock

Caps lock is just annoying and is never ever used.

Why?

  1. Crap, I am blind, but it is missing some nice options.
  2. Caps Lock [I was about to typo it "Craps Lock", which is really fitting] is a annoying
    before it is never used and where you hit it by mistake you must deactive at, which is
    extra annoying if you have swapped Caps Lock and Left Control.

Bug report:

Combining »Swap ESC and Caps Lock» with »Swap Ctrl and Caps Lock»
gives the (ESC, Caps, LCtrl) → (Caps, Ctrl, Caps) remapping.

»Caps Lock is disabled» has not effect if »Swap Ctrl and Caps Lock» is active.

This may be an X bug, I am not sure have MATE does the configurations.

Caps Lock [..] is a annoying before it is never used

If you dont use it, this doesnt mean it is not used.

(Edit on previous comments, I wrote right when I meant left [naturally
because by the fact the order left and right is said, is reversed to in
may native language, so you may se it from time to time, but I will
almost always mean left])

Yes, some users uses it (the only usage I know of is using it instead
of shift of when long upper case text [I hold down shift while doing that]),
therefore it should be opt-in to remove it [as it is not], but I have not
used it at all for some years now. And I find it annoying, and I am sure
that atleast some experienced computer uers will find it more comfortable
to not have it at all.

Additionally; if you let a person, that normally uses the default layout,
do some thing on your computer (with your login), and you have swapped
Caps Lock and LCtrl. I think that the user will be less confused or will
thing it easier [as he will not need to hit that key again, I know that I find
it annoying and confusing to use a non-swapped keyboard], when LCtrl
does nothing at all instead of turing on caps lock.

I think the current functionality is perfectly fine. If the user does not like the default Caps Lock functionality, then they can disable it or set it to do something else.
