Turn of the Cap Lock?

My text tool only allows all capital letters. How do I turn of the Cap Lock?

Your keyboard must have a key called: Caps Lock
This is normally above the shift key.
It is a toggle key so press once to turn it on; Press again to turn it OFF; You get the idea.

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.

Does TouchSmart keyboard show when the Cap Lock is on?cc=us

When I turn on the Cap Lock key I do not find where it tells me that the key is on lock. I find this to be a great problem when I need to enter a password.

You need to install the OSD/Keyboard software, then it will show in the system tray if the capslock is on.

The 'caps lock indicator immediately truns off when any key is pressed.

I have a 6 week old system. When I press(turn on) the 'CAPS LOCK' key it does lite up . However it reverts to lower case - and lite turns off, immediately when ANY OTHER key is touched on the keyboatd.
I ran the anti virus program and it appeared to be fixed. However it does the same thing today, even after I run the anti VIrus program(s) again.
Help!?.........

How to turn the Caps Lock notification off?

Every time I press Caps Lock, a giant grey notification appears in the middle of my screen for a few seconds. I really want to turn this off because it annoys the hell out of me. Any idea how?

hi JoeMorris,
Thank you posting and welcome to the community.
After reading you r post I'd like to get a clarification of the Issue? May I know which Lenovo Model do you have in your possession? Another thing i'd like to know is which windows version are you using?
Most newer lenovo models when hitting the caps lock on or off will display a small icon. on the bottom right of the screen and none like the ones you mention in your post which is displayed in the middle of the screen. These type of display are normally seen in the older machines.
The display option you mentioned are normally controlled by the "On Screen Display" Driver which can be found in the control panel.You might want to uninstall the "On screen Display".
Do let me know on how it goes and post your finding. I'll assist you further with the information provided.
Regards

Macbook Won't Turn On But Caps Lock Lights Up Green.

Hello,
I spilt water on my Macbook A1342 some time ago. I have tried to fix it by cleaning the damaged areas. It didn't start up before but now i have the caps lock illuminated green and is constantly on. The computer does not turn on. I am just charging the computer now. Could this just be a problem caused by the water damage or a software error. Also could it just be because the battery hasn't been charged and was ran flat last time i used it. Open to any ideas.
Many Thanks
Charlie

Water damage may have affected the logic board or other hardware.

Laptop has a black screen and the light near the caps lock is flashing.

My HP Laptop won't boot up. I can hear the fan start up then the light near the caps lock will flash. Then it will turn back off.

[ZSH] Right click key turning text into caps lock

Hi,
In zsh, my right click key turns text in caps lock and I have to type Ctrl+C to get back to the command prompt.
Is there a way to change this behaviour ?
Thanks

You can check the caps lock only if the swf has focus. When embedded in an HTML doc, the swf does not receive focus by default.
Create a new FLA and add a TextField labeled "status".
Add this script to the first frame.
var state:String="INACTIVE"
addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE, ah);
addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE, dh);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, efh);
function checkCapsLock():void {
status.text= state + " " + "Keyboard: Caps Lock " +
(Keyboard.capsLock ? "ON" : "OFF") + "!";
function efh(event:Event)
checkCapsLock();
function ah(event:Event)
state="ACTIVE";
checkCapsLock();
function dh(event:Event)
state="INACTIVE";
checkCapsLock();
Run this in a browser and click inside and outside the swf area, while toggling the Caps Lock.

Disabling the caps lock delay on the aluminum keyboard

Is there any way of turning off the accidental caps-lock press prevention on the new Apple keyboards? (http://www.tuaw.com/2007/10/07/new-apple-keyboard-has-protection-against-acciden tal-caps-lock/)
I use my caps lock key as Control (SysPrefs -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard -> Modified Keys), and the bounce protection cause me no end of trouble - it is still enabled, though I am not using that key for caps lock.
I called Apple support, and they told me to return the keyboard. I do not think this will make a difference, but maybe a Genius can help me out.

Thanks for your suggestion Tom, but that's not really what we're trying to do.
On early keyboards (when I started typing on computer terminals (in the 70s/80s, yes, before personal computers, the Control key was the key to the left of "A". That was great for programmers since lots of things used Control (shell, Emacs, etc). At some point, the Powers That Be (TM) decided that Caps Lock belonged to the left of the "A" key, so people like me spent their time either hoarding the old-style keyboards or finding ways of putting Control 'back where it should be'.
So disabling Caps Lock altogether does not achieve this goal. And until the Aluminum keyboard, ALL other Apple keyboards have worked fine under OSX using the Keyboard Modifier Key swap to simply make Caps Lock be Control. This Aluminum keyboard still makes the switch and works, but at the cost of having to hold the key longer as if it still were the Caps Lock key. Many typists may not even notice this difference, but to a touch-typist, the key seems simply not to work at all.

IMac Black Screen, making some progress with the CAPS LOCK key...What???!!!

Ok, super weird situation here. My friend brought me his iMac because when he turns it on, it makes the chime sound, the front light goes on, but the screen stays black.
The first thing I tried (as a former pc user) whas to start pressing the CAPS LOCK ON and OFF to see if the computer froze at some point, but to my surprise, after hitting the CAPS LOCK many times the screen appeared.
Ok, but the white screen with the gray apple was all distorted, the apple with be filled with little rainbow boxes and lines on the whole screen, so I thought, the Video converter might be bad.
But then, when I tried for the third of fourth time, it appeared the same white scren with the gray apple and the progress circle spinning again, but this time it looked perfect, BUT it froze, and it just stayed there.
Thats what I have so far......any ideas? I tried the Controlcommand+PR but it didnt do anything......
Thanks

It appears that the Mac is passing the Power On Start Test which results in the chime advising that the RAM seems OK. But there is something wrong with the boot volume. Try booting from the Install DVD that came with the Mac. In the Utilities menu of the Installer use Disk Utility to Repair Disk. In the left hand list choose the boot volume. On the right hand, in the First Aid pane press the Repair Disk button. Repeat until no repairs are reported.

thank you

Hi Moe,
Sounds mostly likje a bad KB, do you have another to test with?
Or...
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

OSD for the Caps Lock and Num Lock is not appearing.

Hi all,
I recently discovered that the Caps Lock and Num Lock OSD has stopped appearing when I activate/disactivate these functions. The functions still work, just that the notifications do not pop up.
All the rest of the OSD notifications still DO work, like volume, ThinkLight, brightness, etc.
I've checked the on-screen display settings in Control Panel and found that it set to 'enable' with fadeout at 3 seconds.
I've turned it off and on to 'reset' it but to no avail.
Help, please.
Thanks in advance.

They're not supposed to show up on T400's because the indicators exist as physical indicators on the lower bezel.

Why do I have to hit the Caps Lock button a few times?

Okay, I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and the fact that I have to hit the Caps Lock button two or three times to actually turn on Caps Lock is quite frustrating. My friend on MacBook Air experiences same kind of issue? Are there any people with the same problem? Is it because something is fundamentally wrong with my Mac? Can I do something about it?

Having the same issue!!! After I haven't pressed the Caps Lock button for a while, I have to press the button twice for the light to come on. Had a MBA, talked to a Apple Care representative and they said that was a defect, returned the MBA, bought a MBP and now I am having the same issue. If it's any reassurance I noticed this same issue in a notebook display at an Apple Store. I'm wondering if I not actually pressing the button hard enough each time.

Thanks
Emmersond

Dear Customer,
Welcome and Thank you for posting your query on HP Support Forum
It looks like your Notebook has a blinking/flashing CAPSLOCK light and a blank screen all the time
Whenever the Capslock LED Blinks once that means CPU not functional and we need to replace the Processor
However, I would request with you to perform the below shown step before contacting HP
Step 01. Turn OFF the Notebook
Step 02. Un-plug the Power/AC Adapter and also remove the battery too
Step 03. Press and Hold the Power Button on the Notebook for a full minute
Step 04. Test your Notebook with Battery and Power Adapter alone
Note: If you are still facing the same issue try to remove and reseat the Memory Modules of your Notebook
Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again
