How keep CAPS lock ON?

I have my iPhone settings under KEYBOARD set to ENABLE CAPS LOCK to the ON position, but I don't know how keep the caps on?

Once you have the Caps-Lock feature enabled (ON) in Settings, all you have to do is double-tap the shift key to lock it. It turns bright blue when locked.

How to engage CAPS lock confidence tone on keyboard

Just forgotten how engage CAPS lock confidence tone on keyboard. Getting fed up with typing out text only to find I hadn't noticed the "freakin' " Caps lock light is on and I have to delete it and start again!! I am sure I used to have the confidence tone engaged..just forgotten how!! Thanks in advance!! Ivor

Now I understand the why factor. I don't type proper qwerty either but training your fingers to learn where the keys are will help. I would also recommend working on building up confidence so that you can type without looking away from the screen.
I can't even describe how I write qwerty, I don't really use my pinky fingers for any of the keys in the placement photo (other than shift)
Practice practice practice makes perfect, try random stuff until you find something that works.
Take a look at some key-remappers and move the capslock key somewhere else.

Next, you may want to modify the keyboard input if qwerty tangles up your fingers.

Searching Safari 6.1 with/without caps lock on

Searching Safari 6.1 using the search field at the top of the page gives more restricted suggestions based on history if the caps lock is on vs. the caps lock being off. This didn't happen in previous versions of Safari. It also happens in the latest version of Safari that comes with Mavericks as I was able to demonstrate it at an Apple store. Is there a workaround or preference to choose other than keeping caps lock off ?

Sorry, need to make this clearer. If you have discussions.apple.com in your history and start entering this to the search field with caps lock on, it will not populate the search field automatically. If the caps lock is off, it will.

TS3092 My Apple bluetooth wireless keyboard caps lock keeps changing so that sometimes the caps are on when the lights on and sometimes the caps are on when the light is off. How do I control this?

My caps lock keeps changing. That is, sometimes the caps are locked and the light is on the key and sometimes the caps are on when the light is off. It changes without my knowing it. Also when I hold the shift key down I hear a double click noise which changes the keys in some way. How do I get it to not change?

Try resetting SMC and NVRAP and then reboot.

Try booting the Recovery Partition. Power off, boot and then hold down the Command and R keys. Is the screen still black? If so it is not a software problem so take it in for diagnosis and repairs. Make a Genius Bar reservation http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ or find an Apple Authorized Service Provider https://locate.apple.com/country .
If you are running Mavericks try upgrading to 10.9.2. It has a fix for black screen problems.

How can you keep the caps lock on and not unlock after each letter?

How can you keep the caps lock on and not unlock after each letter?

I'm not aware of an online keyboard that is available and can do this. Most likely it would need to be a function of the app itself (which can and sometimes do add functionlaity to the keyboard).
Wireless keyboard might handle that, if that's an option for you.
I work in IT myself, and IMHO the iPad isn't the ideal device for coding or scripting work.

How do you turn off the Caps Lock key?

According to "Mac OS X, Tiger Edition, THE MISSING MANUAL," "A new button in System Preferences lets you reassign or disable the function of your Option, Caps Lock, and Control keys...." Well, I think the most annoying thing about my MacBook is that I keep hitting the Caps Lock inadvertently, and end up typing unwanted capitals. HOW DO YOU DISABLE THE CAPS LOCK?

Hello Niku.Go into System Prefs. click Keyboard & Mouse, Click first tab in the box "Keyboard",click bottom tab "Modifier Keys", select drop down menu on top tab "Caps Lock" and select No Action. Same expalnation as other answers.
David.
I think I see the problem. I can get to "Keyboard," but when I click on it there is no bottom tag labeled "Modifier Keys". In fact, there is no bottom tab. Therefore, there is no drop down menu, and no "Caps Lock," and no "No Action". What I see when I click on "Keyboard" is only what I mentioned in a previous posting. Two sentences, as I recall.

How can i bind something to caps lock in AwesomeWM?

Recently i've aquired new notebook which doesn't have caps_lock, num_lock and scroll_lock LEDs, so i decided to put keyboard layout indicator to system tray.
Currently i am using Xorg config to set XkbLayout and XkbOptions (like so http://paste.pocoo.org/show/478789/ ).
I tried first widget from http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Change_keyboard_maps but soon realized that it does not detect layout change in any way, so i would like to bind kbdcfg.switch function to caps_lock, but i can't find any documentation on binding something to caps_lock.
Also i've noticed a strange thing, when i change my layout with this function i am unable to use shortcuts that use latin letters. They are obviously remapped to by сyrillic, but they do work if i change my layout with caps_toggle. Why do the work with caps_toggle, and how can i make them work with kbdcfg.switch?

The only reason i have for not using xmodmap is, i don't understand how it can help me, with the task i have. The other article didn't help me either.
Did you read the "How to find capslock status?" thread?
blin wrote:Is suspect the answer is not what you want because your question is not very clear. I understand that you have a keyboard that is lacking certain keys. What is it that you want to achieve? Let some key act as capslock?
I had to read the OP twice to understand it. I didn't notice that he wrote "LED" in the first sentence. What he wants is for his Awesome status bar to display the current activity (i.e. on/off) of the Caps Lock, Num Lock and Scroll Lock keys. He does not need to remap any keys.
Edit: Check Retrieving CAPS LOCK info using Xlib or just do a Google search for "linux caps lock status -map -disable".

My caps lock was stuck and I shut down. Now it's coming back up in safe boot and asking for a password. It won't take my password, I believe because of the caps lock problem. So, how can I get in?

My caps lock was stuck when I shut down my computer. It is coming back up in safe boot (I had spilled liquid on it).
It's asking for my password - which has some lower case letters...So now how can I get in?
Is there a way to change this password or something?
I have a wireless keyboard, but it wasn't set up - so, It's not recognizing it.
Any ideas?

Take your computer to get the keyboard replaced, your lucky it didn't trigger the moisture sensor and brick your machine, so your chances of the machine working well after the keyboard is replaced is likely very good.
As long as the main keyboard is sending a caps lock signal, it's not going to work even if you get in.
If you need to remove files off the internal drive, use a Firewire cable (800 to 400 adpater may be needed) and hold T to boot the problem Mac into Firewire Target Disk Mode and connect the cable to another Mac, the hard drive will appear on the desktop which you can then remove/erase files.

How to get Caps lock indicator in windows 8.1

How to get Caps lock indicator in windows 8.1 ???
i am using wireless keyboard KG 1061

Hi bhargav0,
I understand you would like a caps lock indicator in Windows 8.1. I admit, I don't know of any fix that simply shows you on the screen, but there is an auditory warning that you can implement if that would be of help to you. Take a look at the following video, Windows® 8.1: Make the Caps Lock key beep when pressed. I hope this will be of use to you. Have a great day.

I was in a Pages Doc and inadvertently had the Caps Lock on. How Can I change all the text I typed from Upper Case to Lower Case?

I was in a Pages Doc and inadvertently had the Caps Lock on. How Can I change all the text I typed from Upper Case to Lower Case?

Several protocols may be used.
Here I describe two of them.
(1) the one which I use : install and use the "Convert to Lowercase" service available in the free WordService
(2) copy your text, paste in TextEdit and enter the Edit menu.
I guess that you will recognize the items in your English menu.
I apologize but I don't know the English items.

How to make modifier keys lockable? (like Caps Lock for Ctrl or Alt)

Playing around with the non-modal text editor ne, I found myself wondering if one could simulate a modal interface (like vim has) by having something like "Ctrl Lock" or "Alt Lock" (analogous to Caps Lock) and thus a "ctrl mode"/"alt mode". I would like to try this, but I am not sure how to make it happen.
My best guess is that this could be accomplished via XKB, but its documentation looks pretty intimidating. Is anyone here proficient in XKB and could point me in the right direction?
Other ideas:
– Is this something that a terminal emulator could do? Is there already one that can do it?
– Or a shell?
– For console applications, would it be possible to have a small wrapper that did nothing but intercept keyboard input and just pass everything through to the wrapped process, except that it would take into account the desired lockable modifier key? (I am thinking of tput here, but from my first search it appears that it doesn't do this sort of thing.)

@Trilby: Thank you for the elaborate input!
@drcouzelis: "sticky keys" normally means that modifiers remain active only until the next keypress, while I want a way to lock them in active state for an arbitrary number of keypresses. But still, "sticky keys" was a worthwile input for the search engine.
The program xkbset, which can be used to set XKB options on the fly, has a function that comes very close to what I desire:
$ xkbset h
Usage: To set or unset various options:
xkbset <options>
where <options> may be all or any of (the '-' switches the feature off,
otherwise it is switched on):
To switch sticky keys on or off, and optionally set or reset:
() two keys pressed at the same time stops sticky keys;
() a modifier pressed twice will be locked:
[-]{sticky|st} [[-]twokey|[-]latchlock]...
I cannot select specific modiers to be affected with xkbset, but that would be fine with me. Sadly, it didn't completely work for me:
– It doesn't affect Alt at all for me.
– The effect seems to go away as soon as I change the window. (Maybe I need to invoke xkbset from .xinitrc for its effects to persist throughout the session? I will try that.)
So I went on and tried to configure XKB manually. I got up to a certain point without studying the documentation in-depth, but now I have landed on an error message that seems to suggest to me that I would have to get to a better understanding about the layout files before I could understand it. Here is what I did:
1. Got my current XKB configuration:
xkbcomp :0 output.xkb
2. Editet output.xkb to include the following at the end of the xkb_compatibility section:
//Hoping this makes the ^-key into a Ctrl-Lock key:
interpret TLDE {
action= LockMods(modifiers=Control);
3. Then I recompiled the configuration back into the running X server:
$ xkbcomp out.xkb :0
