Becker Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Is there a way for me to change the use of the Caps Lock function on my PC without having to resort to scary stuff like editing the registry? What I want to do is to change it so that it needs a double tap to work as my clumsy fingers often hit it accidentally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaiMaai Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Not sure if it's exactly what you want but Google for the "sticky keys" function in Windows. Sent from my SM-P555 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Annoyingly I found several examples of people who had Caps Lock keys that needed a double press, unfortunately there was no indication of what setting caused it. If you turn on sticky keys you will find that a double tap of the Shift key will lock it and a further tap will unlock it, nearly what you want. If you combine it with the Caps Lock disabler linked above you are near. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I guess I'll just disable CapsLock since I really can't think of a situation where I need to write more than a few words in caps, and then I can keep shift pressed.

robblok Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Buy a cetain razor keyboard (i got one) and you can switch the capslock off. You can remap all keys. Its not cheap but its good for business users as you get extra programmable keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same problem with my ASUS laptop. The keyboard is not good on it and many keyboard hits don't register. I guess the 13 mm thickness has its price.

Hi sorry yes that is what I mean The razor Black Widow Chroma V2 is what i use. Its expensive but it has a row of programmable buttons that i need for accounting (makes life easier). But you can program every key and move it around you could put the A on place of the S and so on and so on. So you can also disable to cpasloc. You can have multiple profiles.. so you can just load a profile where capslock is gone and when you need it load an other profile.. or just enable it.

bendejo Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I'm not sure if this feature is still available, but certain companies that market keyboards would have a utility to allow you to map customized keyboard functions. Logitech had this (Microsoft as well, their keyboards and meeces were OEM'd from Logitech). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a visual warning along with sound, changes colour of screen, shows a closed or open padlock and gives a sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
