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.

    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.

  • 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?

    Talk to your carrier. They are the ones that can activate a SIM lock PIN. It can be turned on it Settings for the Phone, but if you already have one set and cannot remember it, then you need the carrier to disable it.

  • 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

    Found it. System Prefs->Keyboard and Mouse->Keyboard->Modifiers

  • CANNOT DISABLE CAPS LOCK

    Sounds like a faulty keyboard. Can you beg/borrow/steal another? Any USB keyboard will work - even one from a PC!

  • How to detect Caps Lock without pressing any keys

    I am trying to make the password login and would like add this feature to my website and don't know how to do it.
    I wrote the code below to detect the Caps Lock but it couldn't detect the cap lock at start up.
    if(flash.ui.Keyboard.capsLock){trace("CAP WAS ON")}else{trace("CAP WAS OFF");};
    The result for this code is always return "false" unless I put this code in the eventlistener and have to press the keyboard

    you must wait a moment for your stage to initialize.  use a delay of 1ms or so to check for caplock.

  • 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.

  • Disable Caps Lock Indicator Yoga 14

    I just purchased a yoga 14 with windows 8.1. I want to disable the caps lock notification and almost all of the old solutions for windows 7 do not apply because there is no "On-Screen Display" tab. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thank you for confirming.
