Any idea how to display the status of the CAPS LOCK key on Debian? (i.e., The LOCK-KEYS-APPLET isn't in the Debian repositories.)
CORRECTION: The LOCK-KEYS-APPLET is in the Debian Squeeze repositories but is not in the Debian Wheezy repositories.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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,

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

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Can I have my HDX18 Notebook w Vista SP1 make a sound when I press the caps lock key?

    I was able to do this with an older HP laptop running Windows XP. Cant find any info in "Help" or User manuals.

    Hi, Warren - There used to be several small apps that let you remap the Caps Lock and other keys by assigning their functions to other keys that you may not use very often. There is a freeware app at the moment called DoubleCommand, for example, which allows you to assign the backslash key (\) to function as forward delete, instead of pushing fn + Delete. I don't know if any Tiger apps are able to reassign Caps Lock, but what I was mentioning above is that if you wanted, you could assign the Caps Lock function to the Control, Option or Command keys through the Keyboard pane in System Preferences. (I didn't mean that as a suggestion, though. I just meant to say that it was possible.)
    Glad the first tip was helpful to you!
    Good luck.
