Writing small cap letters with caps lock on

Hi,
I will like to know how to write small cap letterings with cap locks on.
In window, just need to hold on to shift while in caps lock, I will be able to write small cap lettering such as "HellO"?
Any advise from anyone will be deeply appreciated.
Thank You.

Normally that's the way it works on the Mac. Maybe you are using some software that doesn't support it.

Caps Lock makes letters small...

I don't know how it happened, but as I type this, my caps lock key is on and all the letters are 'normal' small. If I want to have caps I have to toggle it 'off' !
Anyone know why this is? Hmmm....
Thanks!

I got the same issue as you folks, except i have some other option also that makes it hard. My CAPS LOCK is ON as well as my NUMBER LOCK is on as well, if i turn that off i get the original function for the number lock so i can use the 10-key on the keyboard. And my issue for this is on a Apple PowerBook G4 17" 1.67 Ghz system. Can someone help with the reset on this?

How about this:

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[

                var firstName:String = fName.text.toLowerCase();
                var lastName:String = lName.text.toLowerCase();
                fullName.text = firstName + lastName;
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:Label x="156" y="74" text="first"/>
    <mx:TextInput x="199" y="72" id="fName" change="name_changeHandler(event)"/>
    <mx:Label x="156" y="104" text="last"/>
    <mx:TextInput x="199" y="102" id="lName" change="name_changeHandler(event)"/>
    <mx:Text x="199" y="132" text="Text" id="fullName"/>
</mx:Application>
I think this does what you were asking for.

Script to replace small caps that are typed as capital letters with non-capital letters (A = a, B = b, etc...)

I'm looking for a way to replace small caps that are typed as capitals by their normal equivalent.
I've got a text that contains a lot of names which should all be set in small caps.
In fact they are, but because capital letters are used for first letters they don't scale.
Short: I would like to be able to look for A, B, C... (in small caps) and replace them with (a, b, c...) in small caps in one go.
(compare two arrays?? -> is this possible in indesign scripting)

Hi,
Actually, it works only with OpenType fonts and - in this case - can be managed by UI find...change feature.
With other type of font we need a real change of contents (another keyboard hit).
It could be done with this code (activeDocument is a target):
-- works for Open Type as well --
// For Latin Basic (ASCII from 65 to 90)
// changes a "cap" letter to a "small" letter
// if Capitalization.SMALL_CAPS is applied to
app.findGrepPreferences = app.findGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\\u";
app.findGrepPreferences.capitalization = Capitalization.SMALL_CAPS;
var
mSTART = 65, // ASCII number for "A"
Mstart = 97, // ASCII number for "a"
mDiff = 0,
mTarget = app.activeDocument,
mFound = mTarget.findGrep(),
len = mFound.length, cString;
while (len-->0) {
cString = mFound[len].contents;
mDiff = cString.charCodeAt(0) - mSTART;
if (mDiff > -1 && mDiff < 26)
mFound[len].contents = String.fromCharCode( Mstart + mDiff );
app.findGrepPreferences = app.findGrepPreferences = null;

My text tool is all in capital letters even though caps lock is off.

My text tool is all in capital letters even though the caps lock button is off. Also I cannot click on the set fond style button. What seems to be the problem?

Hi Neale --
I am having the exact same issue, and it's a problem with any & all fonts I've tried. Of course, my keyboard's CAPS LOCK feature is OFF -- and I've tried many different font styles, nearly all of which allow for standard, non-ALL-CAPS usage.
I'm intending to use Century Gothic for the work I'm doing right now, but it's been an ongoing issue for at least a few weeks -- but I know I never had an issue with this before recently. (Note that I typically don't use or need the text tool for most of the photo editing work that I do w/PSE, so I'm not sure how long this has been an issue.)
In addition, I would like to access other font-setting-related features, like kerning, character spacing, small caps, & other adjustments, etc. -- but I don't see ANYWHERE within the program (or on this forum...or online) how to adjust these relatively standard settings.
Please help

Macbook Pro Caps Lock. how to relieve? i cant small caps letter use?

Macbook Pro Caps Lock. how to relieve? i cant small caps letter use?

I think I have a different problem, but it shares some similar features.
I just got my MBP back from repair for a dead trackpad/keyboard.
Things work mostly peachy now, but I noticed that the caps lock feature doesn't work. The caps lock light does come on on both my built-in and external keyboards, but neither produces CAPS when used.
Searching for this topic on the 'net is difficult nowadays due to a different issue on the new MBP swamping most older discussions.
In any case, the feature itself is gone-the hardware seems to be working properly. It even gives me the little caps lock warning if I press the caps lock key on the login screen. However, no capital letters are ever produced with them.
Strange.

Caps lock with number not working for main password

hello when I start my macbook pro I have a login with numbers in it so I use the caps lock to write it but it doesn't work I have to use shift instead!!! when I use the caps lock for writing mail or anything numbers work fine with it!!! Anyone have an idea??
thk sam

If you used the Shift key to originally enter your password with the number keys the Caps Lock key does NOT do the same thing as Shift for the number keys.
This is Shift and numbers,
#^*)$@&
This is Caps LOCK WITH NUMBER KEYS,
1234455667788999
As you see the Caps Lock only works for typing LETTERS Not Numbers or any other symbol found on the keyboard.
To be able to use all the upper case symbols you need to use the Shift key.><?":{}+_)(*&^%$#@!~

Caps Lock Keyboard having issues with certain notes and chords

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me with a weird issue when I'm using the caps lock keyboard on my macbook pro (running 10.6.2) with logic 8.
When I play certain chords, 1 or 2 of the notes don't sound.
It's almost like I'm having limited polyphony but in a random way.
It's happening on any instrument or plugin.
Sometimes only 3 of 4 notes are ringing out, sometimes 2 of 4, sometimes I can play a big 6 note chord and no notes drop out.
It's not the same note dropping out in multiple chords when it happens, sometimes in one chord a note won't ring out but in a different chord that same note will play fine.
But it's the same chords that give me the same issues every time.
I've already trashed the prefs file (com.apple.logic.pro.cs)
This only happens on my macbook pro on the internal keyboard. It doesn't happen on my desktop mac nor does it happen when I use an external keyboard on the macbook pro.
My Macbook Pro's keyboard functions fine in every other way.
Any Ideas? It's really driving me crazy.
Thanks,
Joe

There is a limit to the keyboard response in hardware - it's got better, but in older machines the keyboard processor could only handle about two or three key presses at once.
A qwerty keyboard is not a musical instrument - you cannot guarantee a decent, or quick response - I'd suggest you get a real keyboard if you are writing a piano concerto....

Problem with Caps Lock and Num Lock after 10.5.1

I noticed after updating to 10.5.1 my caps and num lock lights were on, i thought this odd as I did not push the buttons, pushing the buttons to turn the lights off however actually turns the caps and num lock features on.
In short, the light is backwards! when caps is OFF the light is on and when caps is ON the light is OFF!
the same is true for the num lock key/light...???
anyone else notice this problem?

Same exact problem... after updating I noticed that my numbers lock and caps lock were on. Didn't think much of it so I turned them off and then I notice that they are working in reverse. Caps lock on gives me lower case letters and numbers lock on I only get the symbols associated with that key above the number....mmmmm.
Anyone found a fix yet? I have looked in preferences and other places but found no solution.

Problem that starts with *apparent* sticking caps lock key

I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro (two weeks outside of AppleCare, of course!). Last night, it appeared the caps lock key was sticking. It would type in all caps even when I hit the button and the green indicator light went off. Moments later, I noticed that the option that shows you all the windows on the same screen was suddenly going very, very slow. I tried to restart but it started in safe mode - twice. It finally started correctly on the third or fourth reboot. I hoped it was a fluke.
Unfortunately it's happening again and rebooting doesn't seem to fix it - I can't put in my password to login because it thinks I'm typing in all caps.
Any ideas, please? Thanks.

This may enter the Apple Hall of Fame for stupid posts. I spent a couple hours last night restarting the computer, trying restore etc....and really doing anything I could from clinton's link in order to identify the problem. I'd even called our local store to let them know I would be there first thing in the morning (I'm boarding a plane in a few minutes and really needed my laptop for this trip).
So after doing all of those things + removing the caps lock key to see if it was somehow manually stuck, I go the store this morning. Virtual panic. I needed a presentation off the laptop for a workshop tomorrow and I hadn't backed up since I created it...
I enter the store, I begin to explain the situation in detail, I open up the laptop....
And the guy at the store says "Did you notice your shift key is stuck down?". Why No, I hadn't noticed that! With a tiny wiggle and a tap, that key popped back into place and the computer worked fine. The Safe Mode was happening because the shift key was down.

HT1338 My MacBook Pro (running Leopard 10.5.8) won't allow keyboard to type an upper case 'C' using the shift key...works fine with caps lock, or, with my Typinator workaround using double-typed lower case c (not always best). Any ideas?

My MacBook Pro keyboard won't type an upper case 'C' using the shift key... only with caps lock. Workaround has been to use Typinator by typing a double lower case c, not always the best solution. Mac is a refurbished model, which initially was fine. Apple tech helped me correct the quirk when it first appeared, but now it has returned and refuses fixes. Any ideas?

I'm willing to bet that this has something to do with iCloud. I've been facing a frozen computer nearly every time I go into it.
In Activity Monitor I have seen two programs associate with iCloud that take up about 2.5 GB of memory (I only have 4 in the computer) -- causing everything to freeze. One of these is called "iCloud Helper" and the other one is something like "Address Book Sync helper" -- I see parts of these names in the stuff you have posted.
I am at my wits' end with these and have written to Apple asking them to do away with these or fix them. To get rid of the Address book sync thing I have gone into system preferences for iCloud and unchecked Contacts -- but then spontaneously it gets rechecked. And oftentimes after I Force Quit the iCloud helper, it spontaneously turns on again. My conclusion --- the iCloud is basically unusable. It turns a Mac into the most useless, clogged, sluggish PC. If this is happening to a lot of people's computers -- and I see no reason why yours or mine should be an exception -- these programs just might destroy Apple itself.
So -- I'm about to completely give up on iCloud, and I suspect that others will too unless this gets fixed.
Cheers,
Bob

I can't get a caps lock indicator on my monitor using win8 with a wireless kb on my new p7-1410PC

How do I get the "caps lock" to appear?

Hello Yucky1,
I understand wanting to get the on screen caps lock to display.
You could either access the ease of access center, and enable toggle keys and that will make your PC beep when the button is pressed. Click on this link and it will show you a video on how to do that.
You can also check keyboard settings to see if the options Is available.
How to check keyboard setting steps below:
1.       Place mouse all the way down in the bottom left corner of screen and then left click, a column with a list of options should appear.
2. Click on control panel
3.       Up in the top right corner type keyboard in the search box.
4.       Then click keyboard.
5.       A box will appear with the keyboard settings, check and see if that option is available.
Please respond at your earliest convenience if this helps out.
Thanks.

Problem with Small Caps

I have a problem with small caps when using Times New Roman and Helvetica, but not when using Adobe Garamond Pro, and would like to find out why.
I generate the small caps within InDesign by the "TT" box in the Control Window. Adobe Garamond comes up with beautiful small caps that blend in with the surrounding text. When I do the same with Helvetica, the small caps, especially if they have normal caps amongst them, are quite inelegant looking because of different letter widths.
So I did some experiments with half a dozen other serif and sans-serif fonts and none of them were as elegant as Adobe Garamond Pro. For a sample of what I mean, download:
http://www.mediafire.com/?z5fm0zndmzm
which compares three fonts: Adobe Garmond, Heletica, and Times New Roman.
Unfortunately, I did not pick up this problem until I received my first proof from the printers, and now I will have to change all the Helvetica small caps to normal caps, as I can see no other way of overcoming this inelegancy.
I checked in New Scientist magazine (it uses a serif and sans-serif font throughout, and what I thought I remembered as small caps to begin their stories) to see what they do, but they actually use caps instead of small-caps at the beginning of stories.
Three questions:
Q1: Is the way I generate small caps the correct way?
Q2: Is there something wrong with my Helvetica and Times New Roman fonts?
Q3: Could it be that only Adobe Garamond has an internal, properly designed small caps?
I have checked the attributes of the fonts: Garamond is Open Type Postscript, Helvetica is PostScript Type 1 , and Times New Roman is TrueType.
Any comments most appreciated.

Thanks for the hints. I tried Scott's method and it works with a bit of extra adjustment. The settings I obtained for 12 point Helvetica were:
Horizontal and vertical scaling: 70.5%;
Stroke: 0.1 pt
Tracking: +25 em
Baseline shift: +0.1 pt
The steps to obtain small-caps 12 pt Helvetica are:
Step 1: Type text as normal.
Step 2: Select only the lower-case text you want to convert to small caps. i.e if what is to become small caps already has a capital (such as a place name) do not apply the settings to the capitals, unless that's the effect you want.
Step 3: Apply the above settings manually or via or Character Style.
Problem 1: How do I rid my Character Style of the font size so that only the scaling factors remain? As it is, if I want to apply small-caps to a different font size than the one I have set up, I have to manually change the font size after applying the style.
Problem 2: The scaling factors do not appear to work for changes in font size. When I used 24 pt and applied the above settings, the small-caps were too thin. The method only really works for a particular size, which in reality is all you would normally require.

Have a 2006 MacBook Pro with wireless mouse and Keyboard. Some of keys (caps lock, tab) on KB do not work any longer. I attempted to replace wireless KB with wired KB, but could not find one that was compatible with Snowleopard (10.6.8) OS. Would like to replace KB with either another wireless KB or wired KB.
However, in view of the scarcity of the above items, it appears I might serve myself better by fixing my current KB. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Shift-Caps Lock-Tab not working with remapped Caps Lock

I've remapped my Caps Lock key to Ctrl using the Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier keys dialog and in the following question when I say CTRL i mean the Caps Lock key remapped to Ctrl and Ctrl is the normal left Ctrl key.
I'm using OS X 10.9.4 and I've just bought 2 new external corded Apple keyboards and both of them are having trouble with the key combination Left Shift + CTRL + Tab. For applications where that combination should go to the previous TAB it does not work. If I use the right Shift instead it works fine, if I use the left Ctrl key instead of the remapped Caps Lock key it works great too.
The internal keyboard on the laptop works fine with Left Shift - Caps Lock - Tab.
The computers are a Macbook Air 11" Mid 2011 and a Macbook Pro 15" Mid 2010.

Hey,
Sorry to hear about the keyboard problem.
In a post a while back had this to say. He makes a suggestion that the keyboard might need to be replaced, then the person with the question tried something else. You might take a look and see if there's something there that will help.
Thanks for coming to the forum.
Hope I helped,
