OS Sonoma CAPS LOCK INDICATOR (argh!!)

[samb'ham]

As a draftsman who spends much of the workday with caps lock engaged, I have to say that I'm feeling some real pressure from Cupertino to convert to all lower-case notation for our working drawings. Today is day one with OS Sonoma - perhaps that floating blue up-arrow will grow on me, but for now it's always in the way. 

 If Vectorworks has any advisory influence with OS development, I, for one, would love to see that feature become optional.

I think I found a way to disable the Caps Lock Icon: I clicked on the icon, which turned off caps lock. Then I turned caps lock back on from the keyboard. It seems to be staying off until I turn caps lock off and then back on.

I agree, this is a very annoying feature.

I LIKE THAT INDICATOR !

 

AS I OFTEN ACCIDENTALLY PRESS CAPS LOCK WHEN I MEANT JUST SHIFT ....

 

 

BTW,

FOR ME THE ARROW IS ORANGE,

AS IT USES THE HIGHLIGHT COLOR SETTINGS.

I cannot believe how often it gets in the way!

OK .....

 

So it looks like everyone really hates that new Sonoma feature

and I am the only one profiting from such helpers .....

(I might getting too old now 🙂)

 

I would agree when you all start your Feedback-Assistant App (*)

and tell Tim Cook that this feature should be only optional

and its activation located in the Accessibility Settings ....

 

 

(*)

At least you get a Feedback-Assistant App on your machine when

you participate in macOS Public Betas ...

It works a bit like crying your wishes into the woods - kind of 

a monolog .... But every now and then with a newer macOS version

some of your complaints are solved.

But I am not sure if that is correlated in any way ....
