Reality:
A long press engages the capslock function.
A quick press is used to switch languages. So if you've set your computer to just 1 language, it's not going to do anything. If you have more than 1 language, it switches between them immediately. There is no delay.
Apple fanbois.. Apple is using AI magic to know when I want to press it.

VS Code for osx is fine.
VS for osx was in "preview" the last 3-4 versions I tried. Things would randomly not work. I would upgrade hoping some bugs were fixed. Some versions were more stable than others. The last version I was trying had a broken "git", so that pushed me to branch off and commit to the windows VM. (puns intended)
I run VMs. Visual code for mac is buggy, so I run it under windows. Usually I have a couple of projects in parallel and I need ram.
32GB out of the 64GB is allocated to the windows VM and then there's some other small VMs for intermittent stuff that need to be "sandboxed".
Why bother with OSX? The base OS is better integrated with the hardware. I'm past that moment in life where you love to tinker & experiment. Now I just want things to work, so I can finish what I want to do. And the battery life is much much better.
I was excited about the 128GB Ram option; but there's nothing more. Hoping there's a decent ARM windows laptop out soon with 20 hours battery life.
I got the m1 max with 64gb ram when it came out. I was looking forward to this event, hoping to upgrade.
If you compare the m1 max to the m3 max; there isn't much of a difference. It's got more cores & ram, but that's about it. 1 hour additional battery life and every else is same.

Though the guy is talking about something else; it was the best screenshot that showed where the setting is.
For me, pressing just the fn key does nothing and even mine has the symbol. "fn+space" just puts a space. I can easily switch languages using the capslock. If I do a slightly longer press; the capslock turns on.
