Deactivate caps lock key under program control

Is it possible to deactivate the caps lock key under program control?
[For those who are curious, if I log into my home computer using VNC if someone at the computer presses the caps lock key that affects me!]

My problem with the Bluetooth Mighty mouse is that sometimes when click on an object, nothing happens. I can only move the cursor on the screen but clicking doesn't work. So I have to turn off the mouse for 20 sec and after I switched it back and it works. What I also notest is when I move an object on the screen with the mouse it goed not as smooth as with my wired one.

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.

Accidentally Removed My Caps Lock Key; Don't Know How To Put It Back On

I accidentally popped off my caps lock key trying to get out a sesame seed that got under it. Now I can't put it back on. I tried assembling it and the parts fit, but I couldn't get it to snap in place.
Here are the parts I have:

Can anyone guide me on putting it back on?
Thanks.

Thanks! That really worked
Although, I found my Caps Lock a little stiff, so I removed the metal stabilizer (saw no real use for it).
I hope nothing happens without it!
Thanks again

Dodgy caps lock key?

Its not that bad, but sometimes it doesn't turn on/off when I press it. Back to the shop? I hope they don't want to take my macbook away for repair thus leaving me without a computer...

I bought a new MacBook about 3 weeks ago. I had the same caps lock issue. I took it to the store, not really expecting to swap it for a new machine. But the people at the Genius Bar thought it should be replaced.
But the new one had the same problem -- as well as some other issues (including the keyboard freeze issue under Leopard that is the subject of another thread). This time, the Genius Bar person told me that the caps lock key on the MacBook has been redesigned, to make it require a firmer press to avoid accidental contact -- rather like the "eject" key. In other words, what I was encountering was a "feature," not a "flaw."
I'm not sure I totally accept that explanation -- the key does not seem totally consistent in how it responds to touch. But a check of other machines in the store did suggest that they all behaved, in varying degrees, in that way.
Anyway, they replaced the machine again -- not so much because of the caps lock issue, but more because of the other problems. Same caps lock behavior on the third machine. So I'm inclined to think that, intentionally or not, this type of caps lock behavior is something that all new MacBook buyers are likely to have to live with -- at least for now.

Can I have my HDX18 Notebook w Vista SP1 make a sound when I press the caps lock key?

I was able to do this with an older HP laptop running Windows XP. Cant find any info in "Help" or User manuals.

Hi, Warren - There used to be several small apps that let you remap the Caps Lock and other keys by assigning their functions to other keys that you may not use very often. There is a freeware app at the moment called DoubleCommand, for example, which allows you to assign the backslash key (\) to function as forward delete, instead of pushing fn + Delete. I don't know if any Tiger apps are able to reassign Caps Lock, but what I was mentioning above is that if you wanted, you could assign the Caps Lock function to the Control, Option or Command keys through the Keyboard pane in System Preferences. (I didn't mean that as a suggestion, though. I just meant to say that it was possible.)
Glad the first tip was helpful to you!
Good luck.

W520 & Windows 8 - Is it possible to disable the Caps Lock Key?

Hello All:
I have a W520 running the 64 bit Window 8 Pro OS.
Does anyone know if it is possible to disable the CAPS LOCK key on the ThinkPad keyboard? I keep hitting this key by mistake (fat fingers, I guess) when using the laptop keyboard, and it is a PITA.
When I have the W520 docked and I am using an external (Microsoft hardware) keyboard, I can disable the CAPS LOCK key on the external keyboard using Microsoft's keyboard control panel application. But, this application doesn't appear to support disabling the CAPS LOCK key on the keyboard embedded in the W520.
All suggestions will be gratefully received.
Michael
W520 (4270 CTO), which replaced a W500 (4062-27U), which replaced a T42P, which replaced an A21P...

You cant technically disable it, BUT you can go to settings>General>Auto Lock - Never
The screen will never dim and you wont have to slide to unlock - but keep in mind this will drain the battery much faster since the back light is constantly on.

Remap the "caps lock" key to "delete"

Is there a way to make the caps lock key work as the delete key? I have been messing around with keyboard layouts and in the preferences, but to no avail. Is there something I'm missing? I thought I had done this before.
Thanks.

Okay, if anyone is interested, I was able to do this with a program called fkeys.

Wireless Keyboard Caps Lock Key

I recently got the new iMac with a wireless keyboard. A few days after starting to use it, the caps lock key light went on and stayed on, even though caps lock isn't activated. Caps lock will activate when I hit the key and de-activate when I hit it again, but the green light stays on. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks.

As I mentioned in my first post, the keyboard worked fine when I brought it into my local Mac store; the problem was not experienced when the clerk connected to one of their display iMacs. The keyboard is under warrenty but it does not make sense to get a new one if the problem is not with the keyboard; I have not, however, tested another wireless keyboard with my computer.
Any other thoughts?

Problem that starts with *apparent* sticking caps lock key

I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro (two weeks outside of AppleCare, of course!). Last night, it appeared the caps lock key was sticking. It would type in all caps even when I hit the button and the green indicator light went off. Moments later, I noticed that the option that shows you all the windows on the same screen was suddenly going very, very slow. I tried to restart but it started in safe mode - twice. It finally started correctly on the third or fourth reboot. I hoped it was a fluke.
Unfortunately it's happening again and rebooting doesn't seem to fix it - I can't put in my password to login because it thinks I'm typing in all caps.
Any ideas, please? Thanks.

This may enter the Apple Hall of Fame for stupid posts. I spent a couple hours last night restarting the computer, trying restore etc....and really doing anything I could from clinton's link in order to identify the problem. I'd even called our local store to let them know I would be there first thing in the morning (I'm boarding a plane in a few minutes and really needed my laptop for this trip).
So after doing all of those things + removing the caps lock key to see if it was somehow manually stuck, I go the store this morning. Virtual panic. I needed a presentation off the laptop for a workshop tomorrow and I hadn't backed up since I created it...
I enter the store, I begin to explain the situation in detail, I open up the laptop....
And the guy at the store says "Did you notice your shift key is stuck down?". Why No, I hadn't noticed that! With a tiny wiggle and a tap, that key popped back into place and the computer worked fine. The Safe Mode was happening because the shift key was down.

Is there a method in labviewto dynamically save and change the monitor resolution under program control?

Is there a method in labview to dynamically save and change the monitor resolution under program control? I have another application that runs on another monitor. I would like to change the monitor resoultion to 640x480 on program startup, and then restore the monitor resolution back to the user's settings on exit. Can this be done?

Have you already done this manually? I've seen Labview scale front panels very strangely when changing resolutions...
