  • Converting the Caps lock key to a "Fn lock" key

    Who to do this with Automator or Applescript?
    It would be nice of the little green light in the caps lock key also worked to show if the "Fn lock" key is activated.

    Hi Sandvei, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    see if this works for you...

  • 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.

  • How to get the "Caps Lock" key's original status in Redhat linux FC4?

    I have realized it in Windows XP platform by
    Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getLockingKeyState(KeyEvent.VK_CAPS_LOCK),
    and it works very well in Windows XP platform,
    but it doesn't work in Redhat Linux FC4,
    and throws UnsupportedOperationException.
    Anybody can tell me whether there is any other methods
    to get the "Caps Lock"  key's original status in Redhat Linux FC4
    by jdk1.5.0_02 or later.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated here in advance,
    and thanks a million for your attention.

  • 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.

    Hi
    How its going?
    I understand that you are not able to get the capital letter c.

  • 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.

  • HP G72-B6OUS Notebook - the "caps lock" key

    the "caps lock" key has come off the keyboard.  how can i have it put back on the keyboard or where can i take it
    to have the notebook keyboard fixed???

    Hey arkay71,
    If the key isn't completely broken, it should snap back in. Depending on the model of your notebook, it may or may not have a small metal bar that acts as a guide. Make sure to align that with the 2 hooks on both sides of the key slot, then snap it into place. If the key doesn't have a metal bar, then it should just snap it - make sure everything is lined up before you do.
    If the key is broken, and the tabs are missing or no longer snap into place, then you'll have to contact HP support for a replacement keyboard: 800-474-6836

  • 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.

  • I cannot get the caps lock key or the tab key to work.  Could they be broken?

    I cannot get my caps lock key or the tab key to work.  This is a wired keyboard.  Could the keyboard be broken, or have I messed up some setting?

    Very possibly however you haven't completed a profile so we have no idea what version of OS X you use. First thing to do is complete your profile, if you don't know how  please click Profile Update.
    I am going to assume you are running ML, if so open System Preferences - Keyboard - uncheck the box that says  Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function Keys.
    If that does not work then please reset the SMC and PRAM each 3x back to back.  You can find instructions by clicking Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets

    Could be an early retirement problem.  There is no fixed lifespan for anything, as you know.   Find a friend with a keyboard and test that in your machine.  That will show if it is your keyboard or your computer.   We can progress from there.

  • I suddenly have two flashing lights on my keyboard by the caps lock key and over the end/pg up key.

    I encountered a problem waking my laptop (Pavilion dv7-1270us) this morning.  At first it would not wake up and had to do a hard reboot.  Now I have two flashing lights on the keyboard -the caps lock light and the one over the end/pg up keys over the number pad.  I have run several diagnostics and cannot find an answer as to what this is.

  • Keyboard delete and caps lock keys not working after update

    Shortly after a windows update two keys, delete and caps lock do not work. I have tried the following
    1. system restore..it says it cannot restore as a file is missing. I have used this function before without any problem.
    2. Update key board driver (standard PS/2)..it says latest version is installed.
    3. Uninstall and reinstall.
    4. Reset using the remove batteryt hold down power key option.
    The caps lock and delete does not work in Notepad or MS Word.
    It seems unlikely that the two keys themselves are damaged as it is unlikely that they would both fail at the same time and the problem after the windows undate is suspicious.
    I am using Windows 7 Home premium on a 64 bit HP G62.
    help appreciated as ever
    thanks

    Here's another test...since your laptop has USB ports get or borrow a USB keyboard and try it and if all those keys work and test then the results would mean your laptop keyboard has stop functioning as least you narrow done the problem.
