Cannot enter capital C in terminal commandWorkaround use cap lock)

What can cause a loss of entry capability of capital C in a command line but respond to same in openoffice?
All other keybd entries OK in both USB keybd and PS2 keybd in command line.

That sounds interesting.  Maybe you have shift+C set as a hotkey combination for some other function.  Does typing a normal c with capslock on make a difference?  Also, can you copy text containing a capital C into the terminal?  It would help if you told us what window manager and terminal emulator you were trying to use.

  • TS1578 How can I remove this "feature" ? I always use caps lock key and it's so annoying ! I'm fed up ! I received my new MBA yesterday, but I think I'm going to come back on Windows because of that ! So is there a solution to remove this annoying feature

    How can I remove this "feature" ?
    I always use caps lock key and it's so annoying (I write very fast) ! I'm fed up ! I received a MBA 13" yesterday, but I think I'm going to come back to Windows because of that !
    So is there a solution to remove this annoying feature ?
    Thank you very much

    Yes, this is really a deal breaker for me as you say ... I'm forced to write three times slower than I did on Windows 8, that's horrible (I used to type about 110 words/min).
    I'm going to return my Mac and I think I'm going to buy an Asus laptop instead ...
    What a shame that Apple does not do anything for this to be configured, I have read other forums and I see that I'm not the only one complaining about that ...
    How to lose customers so stupidly ...
    But thank you for your reply.

  • When i press the i key with the shift key nothing happens. I can get a capital i only by pressing the cap lock key whats wrong.

    When i press the i key with the shift key nothing happens. the only way I can get a capital i is by using the caps lock key what is going on. Also from time to time my mouse acts like someone is sitting on it. this stops when i press the command key. i am using the lateist wireless mouse and keypad.

    does it only happen with the i key?
    if it doesnt then try presing shift first then i (or any key) second instead of at the same time.
    if it only happens with the i key then what i would do is take the keyboard and mouse to an apple store and ask them if they will hook it up on their computer to see if it is the keyboard or computer.

  • Performance problem when using CAPS LOCK piano input

    Dear reader,
    I'm very new to Logic and am running into a performance problem when using the CAPS LOCK-piano-keyboard for input of an instrument: when I'm not recording everything is fine and the program instantly responds on my keystrokes, but as soon as I go into record-mode there is sometimes a delay in the response-time (so I press a key and it takes up to half a second longer before the note is actually played).
    Is there anything to do about this to improve performance (for example turning of certain features of the application), or should I never use the CAPS LOCK keyboard anyway and go straight for an external MIDI-keyboard?
    Thanks and regards,
    Tim Metz

    Does your project have Audio tracks and just how heavy it is, how many tracks? Also, what kind of Software Instrument do you use?

  • MIDI note delay / stagger using Caps Lock keyboard and 3rd party plugins

    Whenever I am using any of the following plugins:
    Waldorf PPG Wave, Waldorf D-Pole or Audio Damage Reverence,
    with the respective plugin windows open, I can hit several notes on the Caps Lock keyboard simultaneously and some of them will trigger after the rest.
    Interestingly, Reverence and D-Pole are effects, and so placing them on any audio instrument, including those that came with Logic, causes them to behave as PPG Wave always does when its plugin window is open.
    The delay time seems to be variable.
    When the plugin windows are closed, there is no delay.
    As well, triggering many notes at once or notes in quick succession seems to cause things to stagger up more.
    Sometimes the MIDI notes get stuck and continue playing until they are pushed again.
    This seems strange to me, as CPU usage on the plugins is extremely low (the CPU meter does not even register a single mark).
    The problem does NOT occur if I draw out a MIDI sequence that does precisely the sort of things that cause the holdups when I am using the Caps Lock keyboard.
    Is the Caps Lock keyboard just not very good at certain things?
    Why would this problem occur only with these specific plugins?
    None of Logic's included plugins have this problem (unless of course I stick Reverence or D-Pole on them as an insert and open the Reverence window).
    Naturally this is an inconvenience that can be worked around, but it is annoying.
    Thanks for your time.

    Hey Rob,
    I opened up the Activity Monitor, and CPU usage in Logic Express is 35-40% with the plugin window open and between 16-20% with it closed.
    That doesn't seem to be it, but your suggestion that the Caps Lock keyboard is probably just not good at handling many notes at once is definitely correct.
    I plugged in a MIDI keyboard and the CPU usage is the same, but there is no staggering problem.
    Perhaps there is something off with the CPU meter in Logic Express 7, though.
    The Audio side registers activity, but the CPU side says nothing, when clearly the Activity Monitor has it right.
    Anyway, thank you for answering my question--it is sort of an annoying little problem, but I just won't play fast with Caps Lock, I suppose.

  • Using caps lock key as caps lock and control key

    I'd like to use the caps lock key as caps lock and control key. While I can convert the caps lock to control key very easily, there seems no way to make it both caps lock and control. Is there any way to do this? I use emacs and it'd be really useful to be able to do this.
    Thanks.

    Finally found something that worked for me. See this thread and look for the post about removing the Hitoolbox plist files.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10765093&#10765093
    I removed all of them. (Had multiples) Also make sure you empty the trash afterwards.
    Then restart.
    Then I used the modifier key trick in this thread. Turned off the caps lock key. Then restart.
    Then use the modifier key trick and turn the caps lock key back on. Test to see if your lights come back on for the caps lock key.
    If so, next time you restart it should still work. Finally. This thing has been dogging me for a long time.

  • HT3965 how to use cap locks on keyboard

    How does one find/use the caplocks function on the iPhone keyboard?  I've enabled the caplocks feature, but cannot find a key to turn caplocks on.

    Doubble tap the shift key fast and when it gets blue you should type ALL caps. Then when you want to take it of just tap it once so it goes back to lowercase letters.

  • I inadvertently used Caps lock. How do I make the type lower case?

    This may have been answered before, and if so I apologize.
    I tried the search forum function without success, and I tried Pages help without success.
    I do not want to retype it.
    Thanks

    This doesn't come built-in to Pages, but you can add this capability easily -- download the hugely useful WordServices from Devon, which, when installed, will put a "Convert" menu option into the "Services" menu (under the Pages menu).
    The system-wide Services menu is one of the extremely powerful yet woefully underused aspects of OS X.

  • Help :  I cant use my caps lock

    My cat walked my keyboard.
    Then  my problem started.
    I can not hide keyboard & Cahracter Viewers in menu bar.
    So I cant use caps lock key.
    I tried to reset,,,  but did not work.
    Please advise me...  :-(

    Wow, your cat really went to town!
    Go to System Preferences>Keyboard click the Keyboard tab then then the Modifier Keys button.
    Make sure that the Caps Lock Key is set to Caps Lock. While you're there, make sure the other modifier keys are set to your liking.

  • After updating with ios7, I cannot proceed because I cannot enter my password since it uses Greek letters but the keyboard available is Latin. How can I change the keyboard to Greek?

    After updating with ios7, I cannot proceed because I cannot enter my password since it uses Greek letters but the keyboard available is Latin. How can I change the keyboard to Greek?

    try tapping holding on the key that would be most similar to the letter you want to enter, that will bring up a menu of other characters similar to that character and maybe the greek letter will be included in that menu

  • I'm using photoshop elements 2.0 and window vista.  when i want to crop i cannot enter any values in

    I'm using photoshop elements 2.0 and window vista.  when i want to crop i cannot enter any values in the width and height boxes.  the cursor won't enter.  same thing with resolution.  what did i do?  what's wrong?

    The first thing you might try is resetting the Crop Tool by right clicking on the crop icon in the tool options bar and choosing Reset Tool.
    If that doesn't work then the next thing is to reset the photoshop elements 2 settings file by holding down
    the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after clicking or double clicking on the pse 2 shortcut.
    Keep holding the keys until a dialog appears ask if you want to delete the photoshop elements settings file
    and click yes in the dialog.

    You may have more than one Apple ID that shares the same email address.
    Try one of the following to resolve the issue:

    Hi,
    the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support  (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).
