Caps Lock

[ceagle]

A programme which I highly recommend for turning off annoying keyboard keys (like CapsLock and the Windows Pop-Up key) is SharpKeys (.Net Framework / DonationWare). It has helped zillions of times to preVENT SITUAtions likE THIS WHEre you acciDENTALLY BRUSH THE DARN THING ANd don't notice until several lines LATER. ;P

There are a few good ones for Mac also ^V^ (don't have the links handy though...)

To disable caps lock in OS X:

- Open "System Preferences" from the Apple logo.
- Open the "Keyboard and Mouse" preferences under the "Hardware" section.
- Click on the "Keyboard" tab.
- Click on the "Modifier Keys..." button.
- Set "Caps Lock Key" to be "No Action" from the drop down menu.

Simple. :)

Alternatively you can assign the Caps Lock key another function, like being another control key as seen on Solaris keyboard configurations. :)

Heh heh... Nine times out of ten, I make my LJ entries elsewhere and cut n' paste them into the comment box. If I haven't caught a typo or some other goofup by then, the heck with it. ^_^

;> silly purrbox!.. heh!
It's not intentional, it's that the oversized wings or paws we have onna keyboard often accidentally brush those keys, leading to lonnnnnnng stretches of unwaNTED CAPitAL LETTErs ... or that Windows key to the left of the Space Bar (which I also near never intentionally use) suddenly pops up in the way of something I'm trying to click on the screen, or something or something.. They're just mostly useless keys, that not only are useless, they tend to make nuisances of themselves when least desired. ;P *rarrr*
