Disable caps lock key

Is there an easy way to disable the caps lock key?  I keep hitting it on my Pavilion DV2z and it serves no purpose for my typical operations.  Suggestions?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,00,00,3a,00,00,00,00,00
Works in XP, not sure about other versions of Windows.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Anyone know how to disable the "caps lock" key?

    I'm a klutz typist who needs to look at the keys when I type, and I often hit the caps lock key by mistake and have to go back and retype a lot. There used to be in the real old days a freeware utility to do this, but I don't know how to do it today.

  • How to disable Caps Lock?

    I am tired of constantly hitting the Caps Lock key by mistake. I know there is a way to disable it with a Unix command. Unfortunately, I've forgotten what it is.
    Please Help.

    I don't know the Unix command but if you look under *System Preferences* open Keyboard and choose *Modifier Keys*. Click on *Caps Lock Key* and change the choice to No Action. Now the caps lock key will no longer work till you need it.

  • Disable caps lock stops working...

    I've been using the modifier key setting to disable caps lock and it's great!
    Only now after some time the caps lock key suddenly starts working as normal
    I can turn it off again in system preferences and it'll work for a while, but it's so annoying that the setting won't keep.
    I think this problem started appearing after the latest security update, but can't really say for sure when it started...

    glote, I'm having the same problem, as well as startup items (Safari, iCal, AddressBook, Font Xplorer) not hiding themselves. It started after the 10/.6.1 upgrade. Any news on your end?

  • Disabling Caps Lock?

    I'm new to the mac world and have a brand new macbook. Coming from a linux/X-Windows background I am used to being able to remap my keyboard's functionality, or more importantly, disable particularly undesireable parts of it and I am not yet familiar enough with the MacBook to do that.
    I'm trying to figure out how to disable the Caps Lock key. I rarely need to type things in upper case and when I do, I can press the shift key.
    Any insights you could give me on how to accomplish that would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Caps lock key gets stuck on

    We are using Sun Ray Software 5.2.1 and connecting to Citrix XenApp 6.5 servers running on windows server 2008R2. We have an issue where randomly the caps lock key is stuck On, and its not just the light, the actually caps lock is stuck and you can only type capital letters. The only solution we have found is to log off and then log back in for a new session and everything is good again. This doesn't work however if the users desktop is locked from the screensaver timeout, because then they can't type in their password correctly to log off the session. The only solution is for me to manually log them off within the Citrix XenApp console.
    Any ideas?

    Which citrix client are you using? Have you tried killing the sun ray session with CTRL+ALT+Backspace? The Session should restart after that and it would not involve administrative intervention.
    You could also try and disable caps lock with xmodmap if you don't need it.
    Just some ideas

  • 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.

  • Cap Lock Key Bad

    Since day one of me using this MB Pro (which was brand new not used, no refrub) the cap locks key has been sketchy at best. Now most of the time I use an external keyboard and monitor but when I use the laptop it gets annoying quick. You really need to hammer down on the cap locks key to work and I know thats not right. Any ideas?

    Well, no solution here, but I heve exactly the same problem with my second keyboard. The first one was replaced on warranty and the replacement is same-same.
    The only sure way to turn the Caps Lock on is to hold it down for a fraction of a second. A tap never does it - ever.
    I wonder if it is a "design feature" as it is the one and only key giving me grief.
    I guess taking yours for a keyboard replacement is the only solution, you may be lucky and get a working one.
