Caps lock on

[Guest]

does any one know how to get the computer to automatically turn caps lock on
when I am in mt drafting application, and then automatically go back to the
default (off) when I change to another application. I use capitals for all
drafting, but end up tYPING lIKE this when I change to the word processor.
There must be a smart way!

You can do this with AutoIt, provided you're prepared to spend a little time
writing a small program.

Basically you would need to check which window has focus, say once a second,
and set capslock with a SEND('{CAPSLOCK on}') command if it's the drafting
program.

Brett,

* Start > Run > Regedit

* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Keyboard

* Double-click 'InitialKeyboardIndicators'

* Change the value to 1

Note:

other options are:

0 - all indicators off

1 - Caps Lock on

2 - Num Lock on

3 - Caps Lock and Num Lock on

4 - Scroll Lock on

5 - Caps Lock and Scroll Lock on

6 - Num Lock and Scroll Lock on

7 - Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock on

Thanks Ian,

That is useful, but I am not a programmer. I use the computer to put lines
on paper, so programming is beyond me.

If someone has a script already written, and some instructions on how to get
it to work that would be fantastic.

Cheers.
