Caps Lock, what is it on the keyboard and where is it? Computer educational program Caps lock on a laptop.

Hello everyone, A keyboard is a device through which we can enter text on a PC. It sounds like it’s 1990 and no one knows what a keyboard is.. This means there are all sorts of buttons on the keyboard, if it’s a regular one, then there are few specific buttons. But there are keyboards for gamers, there can be a lot of additional buttons...

But here’s what caps lock is and why on the Internet they write things like don’t write caps lock or turn off caps lock. What does this even mean? Caps lock is simply a button that activates the entry of capital letters. If you press Caps Lock again, entering capital letters will be disabled.

Usually the button is labeled Caps Lock and is located on the left side of the keyboard here:

So when you see that people say don’t write caps lock, then I think now you understand what they mean

Whatever the keyboard, the caps lock will always be in one place. Here's an example of a scary gaming keyboard:

And she has caps lock in the same place, if you look closely:

Although the keyboard is really awesome

By the way, the caps lock button is the same as it has been on typewriters for many years. There, just like on computers, she changed the case of the entered text. I found this joke on the net:

When a user types text with caps lock enabled, it is perceived on the Internet as a scream. In such cases they say no capsi

Damn it, I completely forgot to write about the main thing, that’s how I could forget! When caps lock is turned on, the Caps Lock light on your keyboard will light up:

If when you press Caps Lock the game minimizes or the game goes into windowed mode, then the caps lock indicator on the screen is to blame. Which appears in the lower right corner of the screen every time you press Caps Lock or Num Lock.

Except Caps Lock And Num Lock A window pops up in the lower right corner of the screen above the clock telling you to turn it on/off Scroll Lock.

A pop-up notification about turning on Caps/Num Lock interferes not only with games, but also with many programs running in full screen mode and requiring these keys to be pressed.

For example, in GTA 5, the Caps Lock key enables a special ability. And when you press it, the game goes into windowed mode, which is simply unacceptable! You can, of course, change the assignment of the keys, but in GTA V, almost all the keys are occupied and besides, this will not solve the problem globally.

To get rid of this notification, you need to disable the program that displays it. You can do this in startup if you know what it is called.

It often happens that its name is unknown or there is no such program in startup. This happens especially often in laptops.

As it turned out, Notice Caps Lock is issued by the BTTray.exe process which can only be disabled in the registry.

How to enter the registry:

Start > Run > enter “regedit” and go to the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Widcomm > BTConfig > General > KeyIndication > change the value of "KeyIndication" instead of "1" set to "0". Click OK and close the Registry Editor.

We reboot the computer and rejoice in the absence of this nasty notification!

P.S. Thanks to naked users, another solution to this problem has been found:

At launch we write msconfig, select there, find the program BTTray and remove it from startup. This software starts after installation wireless headphones and similar Bluetooth devices.

This post is a collection of useful tips for computer programs, which have come in handy over the past few weeks.

1. Caps Lock translation

The Caps Lock function (typing text in capital letters) is activated by pressing the special “Caps Lock” button. We often notice that the Caps Lock key has been pressed even after a lot of text has been typed. Then it becomes necessary to remove caps lock in already typed text. You may also need to remove capslock in the text if you are copying material written in capital letters from another source and want to make the letters “normal,” because I already wrote that expressing thoughts in capslock is a sign of bad upbringing. Translate ready text from Caps Lock mode is very simple: paste text in capital letters into Word, select it and press Shift+F3. Similarly, you can transform text and vice versa.

2. Sending messages on Skype

By default sending messages in Skype latest version occurs when you press the Enter key. But the key combinations in Skype can be changed if desired. Go to “Tools -> Settings -> Chats and SMS -> Chat Settings” and set the Enter key to “line break” instead of “send message”. Now messages will be sent using the Ctrl+Enter key combination.

3. How to change file extension in Windows 7

Changing the extension is not difficult, the main thing is to enable the display of file extensions. This is done as follows: open any folder on the computer and in the upper left corner click on the “Organize -> Folder and Search Options” button, on the “View” tab uncheck the “Hide extensions for registered file types” line. After this, all files on your computer (music, graphics, text, etc.) are displayed with extensions. To change the extension, right-click on the file, select “Rename” and enter the desired extension instead of the existing one.

4. How to add a movie to iTunes

Previously, I never had a question about how to upload a movie to iTunes, because this is done, in principle, in an elementary way: the video file is simply dragged into the media library from the folder in which it is stored. The same action can be performed by clicking “File -> Add file to library” in the application menu or simply pressing the hot keys Ctrl+O. But today I was faced with the fact that several films of a format suitable for the iPad are not added to iTunes; the program simply ignores attempts to add the file without producing any errors. Google came to my aid and told me what to do if in a standard way Movies are not transferred to iTunes: find the folder “Users/(username)/My Music/Itunes/iTunes Media/Automatically Add to iTunes” on your computer and put the required movies into it; restart iTunes and the films will appear in your library. Thus, I was able to upload all the films except one - it continues to “resist” and appears in the “Not added” subfolder created by the system in the “Automatically add to iTunes” folder.

The Caps Lock key on any computer is really useful key, when it comes to printing anything in block letters is very easy. But sometimes, while intending to use the Tab or Shift key, the user tends to press the Caps Lock key and hence it interrupts their workflow. An alternative to the Caps Lock key is the Shift key, which you can hold down to type something in block letters. This makes it possible to disable the Caps Lock key and use the Shift key instead to enter block letters. Today we will look at how to disable the Caps Lock key in Windows 10. If the Caps Lock key is not working, this post will show you how to enable it.

We will look at two methods that will show us how to turn the Caps Lock key on or off in Windows 10.

• Using the Registry Editor.
• Usage software KeyTweak.

Enable or disable Caps Lock in Windows 10

1] Using Registry Editor

Press the WINKEY + R key combination to launch the Run utility, type regedit and press Enter. After opening Registry Editor, go to the following

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout

Now right click on the right sidebar and select New → Binary Value.

Set the name of this newly created Scancode Map binary value.

Double click on the newly created binary value and set its value to this:

00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,00,00,3A,00,00,00,00,00

This will disable the Caps Lock key.

If you want to re-enable the Caps Lock key, simply delete the newly created binary value.

Alternatively, you can simply run the REG file we created to easily add a registry value.

In any case, restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

2] Using KeyTweak Software

Download KeyTweak for free. Be sure to opt-out of third-party software offers, if any.

Once you have downloaded and installed it without any additional unnecessary programs, launch the software.

From the resulting keyboard maps, select the location of the Caps Lock key. In most cases this will be #30 on the map, as shown in the snippet above.

Once you select it, it will show you the current key assignment.

Simply click the Disable key button to disable the Caps Lock key.

In case you want to re-enable the key that you have just disabled, you must follow the same steps and enable it.

You will have to restart your computer in both cases for the changes to take effect.
