How to turn off the CAPS LOCK key. Earlier today, I talked about the fact that some people hate the CAPS LOCK key. Well, Jeff D. posted the steps to turn the CAPS LOCK off
in Windows XP and Server 2003, and I thought that I would repost them
so that others who are not looking at the comments would benefit:
The
other solution I've used is to simply change the cancellation of CAPS
LOCK to be done with the Shift key instead. sO THAT i CAN'T
ACCIDENTALLY DO THIS.
- Control
Panel | Regional and Language Options applet | Languages tab | Details
button, which gets you to the "Text Services and Input Languages"
dialog.
- On
that page "Add" a second input language (you don't have to make it the
default). The two (or more) I usually have installed are "English
(Canada) - US" and "English (United States) - US". Once you've got more
than one input language installed, the "Key Settings..." button becomes
enabled: click it. That opens the "Advanced Key Settings" dialog. Right
at the top you'll see:
- To turn off CAPS LOCK: [ ] Press the CAPS LOCK key [x] Press the SHIFT key
Voila!
Now if you have accidentally hit the CAPS LOCK key, as soon as you
start typing the next sentence, which presumably starts with a capital
letter, you'll cancel the CAPS LOCK immediately.
Very cool.... thanks, Jeff!
