Disable or Modify CAPS LOCK key

An annoying problem

Do you accidentally hit CAPS LOCK all the time? Its placement on keyboards next to the 'A' key puts it in a heavy-traffic area.

 

Now solved

Using the information at this site you can:

  • disable the key entirely
  • map it to another key (I prefer making it behave like the SHIFT key)

 

Notes

Some games make use of the CAPS LOCK key. You may have to re-enable the CAPS LOCK to its original behavior to play such a game.
