I've got a Monoprice lighted keyboard that is great. Don't have to turn on the light just to type a message.
But it is slightly undersized and I am ALWAYS...ooops, there it goes... hitting the caps lock key and writing whole sentences before I notice it (because I ignored the typing teacher in high school and never learned to type without watching the keyboard.)
Is there an app or maybe a Firefox add-on where you can swipe a passage, right-click and select 'invert upper/lower cases'? It is a feature in word processing programs but I don't feel like opening Office just for a forum or facebook post. |

Never mind! I could have sworn I had tried to find something like this before. But it only took me 2 minutes to find a FF add-on (search : CASE CHANGE).

Cool. I wonder if there is one for Chrome.
I would like to slap the guy into next week, that decided to put the caps lock key where it is. I realize that it is in the same location as the shift key on a typewriter, but hey, this is not a typewriter. I don't touch type. I have to look down at the keyboard when I type. And now that I have the tremors real bad, it is even more of a problem. I can write several lines before I look at the monitor. You'd be surprised at the number of errors.
I just spent more time correcting errors in the preceding paragraph, that I did typing it originally.

Exactly.
It was so easy to find for FF and there were several to choose from. Therefore, my bet is that you can find something for Chrome. |

I touch type so this isn't a problem for me, but you roused my curiosity. I just checked this computer's System Settings > Input Devices > Keyboard > Advanced and found that the Caps Lock Key can be disabled. I'm using Fedora 15. I suspect other systems will have similar capabilities. HTH.

Interesting. Being a techno-reactionary, my first thought is 'but I use that lock'. But it is worth considering.
However on my Windows 10 the only keyboard options I can find are 'key repeat delay', 'key repeat rate' and 'cursor blink rate'. That's all there be.
The app is cool. A good workaround for the penalty of my worst typing sin--enthusiastic typing with head down. |

Try supergluing a thumb tack (point up) to the Caps Lock key. This way you will notice when you hit it! LOL
