Caps Lock event listener

Hi all

I spent some time with event listeners today and I thought listening to the status of the caps lock.

Not found a way to check it out then maybe that the listener is the best way to do it.

Any thoughts on how this can be achieved? It would be very useful for purposes of connection to see if the user types with caps lock on.

A little Up/DOWN event, CapsLock KeyCode is 20. But you must use the Keyboard.CAPS_LOCK constant instead.

In a keyboard event handler:

If (event.keyCode == Keyboard.CAPS_LOCK) {}

true if capslock has been pressed

}

To check if the key is on and off, follow these steps:

If (Keyboard.capsLock) {}
true if shift caps lock is enabled. false otherwise.
}

Add a listener like this:

public function addHandler (): void {}
Called from creation complete event of the app.
Listener to handle any event keyboard KEY_DOWN:
this.addEventListener (KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, handleKeyDown);
}

  • HP Compaq Presario CQ62 blank display, solid caps lock light light orange, solid f12

    Good afternoon

    Currently, I'm stumped on troubleshooting lights error code for a hp compaq cq62 customers. I tried the hard reset, the reinstallation of the memory and even plug the laptop directly into the wall instead of a surge protector with battery removed. I can't find any solution on the HP site or any other site of forum for this issue as to what a solid caps lock light and a solid orange light on the f12 key.

    Currently I think the customer may need a new back light system or a new processor. Before to come to this conclusion, I hope that there is a clear solution for my problem. Thank you for any assistance.

    Hello @NotURt3kSupport ,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand you are having problems starting your PC clients laptop Compaq CQ62.

    A single glance on the caps lock light usually means it is a failure of the CPU and requires a replacement of CPU or the motherboard.

    Also try to go through these documents to resolve startup problems:

    Computer does not start and the lights blink or the computer will beep.
    Troubleshooting of the black screens with no start-up or start-up error message.
    Tests of hardware failures (Windows 7, Vista) or hardware failures (Windows 8).

    You can tell if the backlight is the issue or start by plugging in a VGA monitor to see if the screen is displayed or not. If this is the case, you have on the laptop display problems. If it isn't, you're dealing with a problem of CPU, GPU or motherboard.

    Also, it would be useful to know what product and the operating system you are using. For more information on the search for your model and product numbers, click here: How can I find my model number or product number? What version of Windows you are using, click here: Windows operating system am I running?

    In the event of hardware failure I suggest you contact the services options HP telephone support. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.

    Hope this information helps!

  • Configuration of caps lock no longer works

    Hello

    After that the upgrade to Mac OS Sierra is not possible to turn off the caps lock.

    Lock shift will continue to work either by selecting 'No Action' for the caps lock setting in system preferences > keyboard > modifier keys.

    Difficulty please!

    See you soon,.

    Giampaolo

    Hi, manchoz!

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I understand from your post, that caps lock shift to 'No Action' in system preferences has in fact an effect; You can always activate the caps lock shift key after changing the setting. I know it may be practical to adjust how the key functions and would be happy to help you!

    I have a few things I can recommend for you to try. Test by changing the caps to no Action lock after each step.

    1. Restart the Mac by clicking on the menu Apple  and selecting restart... in the drop-down menu.
    2. If possible, test how the caps lock functions on another keyboard (USB or Bluetooth).
    3. Start in safe mode and try to change the modifier of Caps Lock on. The following article will give you more information about safe mode and start it: try safe mode if your Mac does not start-up

      Even if the title of the article is not specific to your question, safe mode is always a good step to take. She will run a scan of your system at startup and disable some software and processes that may be causing a conflict.

    4. Test the caps lock modifier in a different user account. This article will explain why test in another user account is a useful step and will also guide you in creating a new account: How to test a question in another account on your Mac user

    For more information, see the following: macOS Sierra: change the modifier keys

  • Change the source of entry with the Caps Lock key does not

    It should be possible to change the input source with the Caps Lock key on macOS Sierra.

    and I checked "Toggle ABC of input source with caps lock shift" in system preferences > keyboard > input Source.

    However, it does not lock shift still only works as long as CapsLock

    I tried to reboot, reset the keyboard shortcuts, deactivation of Siri, reset NVRAM and reset the SMC, but still does not.

    I use only the default input source and have not installed and related programs to the keyboard or input source.

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance.

    Greetings slwsbl!

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that you want to change the input source with the SHIFT key on macOS Sierra. I understand the importance of wanting to use a specific key when changing inputs. I'm happy to help you with this.

    It is possible to do. Please take a look at the User Guide helps Mac, specifically, this section:

    Switch between input sources

    To switch between input sources, do one of the following:

    • Use the menu entry: Click on the menu entry in the menu bar, and then choose the input source. If an input source is dimmed, the current application does not support it.

    • Use the Caps Lock key: Press the caps lock shift key to switch between a non-Latin input (such as the Chinese or Korean) source and an input source Latin (for example, French or English).

      To use this method, you must select the option "use Caps Lock to toggle to and from" in the stream of input methods. Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click keyboard, and then click input methods.

    • Use keyboard shortcuts: Press control-Option-space bar to select the source of the following entry in the menu entry, or control-space to select the previous input source.

    Best regards.

  • Laptop is not starting and CAPS LOCK flashing.

    Hello.

    I use a laptop HP Pavilion 1125sw g6. The laptop is around the age of 5 months and 2 days ago something strange happened. Let me start from the beginning; I changed the graphic properties of a game and when I pressed 'Make changes', the screen went blank, but the computer still worked. So I turned off (until the battery) and started again, and he went as far as my wallpaper and I have been able to view my wallpaper and all for a minute about and then deleted again screen. I tried to use HP advanced diagnostic tools that arise only when you start, but even with that the screen went white.

    The next day, that the laptop has no start, fans were still whirring, but not the BIOS screen came. The CAPS LOCK button flashes at intervals of two, the wireless button is orange, and that's all. Its been like that since. Any suggestions? Please, I beg you! T

  • Tecra Z50 - A - 11 c: without capital letters when shift caps lock is enabled

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba Tecra Z50 - A - 11 c with 3.70 BIOS...

    I noticed a strange problem with my laptop. Occasionally, when the CAPS LOCK is turned on, I can not write in capital letters when it is off, I can write in capital letters. I couldn't find the thing to replicate.

    Is there someone with a similar problem?
    What could be the problem?

    Thank you.

    The keyboard should work as follows:

    SHIFT CAPS LOCK is enabled-> uppercase
    SHIFT CAPS LOCK is on and down SHIFT-> small initial letters
    SHIFT key-> uppercase

    If this isn't the case, test the external USB keyboard.
    The use of the external USB keyboard can be useful to find out if the internal keyboard is malfunctioning.

  • Satellite Pro A40 Caps Lock power with many keys on and off

    Hi guys,.

    I have a Satellite A40 and it has become a pain. First the caps lock keys not working, has no importance. Then I realized that if I pressed ctrl + C caps work come, now ctrl c z x c m and v all do caps on or off.

    You can not use!

    I use an external keyboard, which I think will work. Have you tried some form of downloads of this site but it is not changing.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    PS I have no games on it.

    Hello

    Well, it's not easy to say why this dysfunction occurs.
    You can try to use the System Restore tool. This can help to set the operating system to the beginning.

    Also if it helps doesn t, I would recommend to recover the operating system with the supplied restore CD. (Please make a backup of your files.) If the problem still the same after this procedure so I think it's a hardware malfunction and you contact the agents of control services.

  • Satellite Pro M70: "Caps lock" light will not stay

    Although the installation of ceiling works I don't know when the caps lock button is enabled or disabled. Very confusing.

    Hello

    You suggested that this light doesn t work since the replacement of the motherboard.
    Am I wrong? In my opinion this is something mechanically. Can not solve yourself.
    In this case I recommend to contact the ASP again and explain the situation. Generally, the warranty should cover the repair procedure.

  • Libretto U100: an alternative to caps lock

    Several people including me have already validated ways to disable the Caps Lock key on the booklet. But I recently discovered "CapsUnlock" and I think it's the best so far. If like me, you always tend to press Caps Lock shift by mistake, I think it's the definitive answer. Here is the link: http://www.brainsystems.com/capsunlock/.

    As a bonus, you can choose to disable the "Ins" key (This isn't a problem on the U100 because you get Ins of Fn - Del, but, as a user of the "elected", I find it useful on other laptops).

    The website says: ' CapsUnlock replaces the CapsLock key locking mechanism and prevents so turn it on accidental of CapsLock.

    It works like a small status bar application in the taskbar. The user can select a replacement option, which allows to CapsLock be turned on and off by holding down the SHIFT key left while pressing CapsLock. In addition, CapsUnlock also disables the INSERT key. »

    Not bad thanks Johnson for sharing this tool and information with us.
    Maybe it could be useful for some users here in the forum

  • Libretto U100 - best Alternative for lack of Caps Lock Led

    If you use Windows XP, search the Internet for the file keystate.zip. It creates an icon in the systray with simulated led which goes red when the caps lock is on and black when the caps lock are out of service.

    There is a Toshiba program even better if you operate under Windows 98 SE: toshled9.exe. It is basically the same as keystate.zip but it has a much clearer and more simulated led. In addition, toshled9.exe has 4 more market icons that you might find useful. Unfortunately, toshled9.exe does not work in Windows XP.

    Thanks for the comments

  • Libretto U100 - an alternatives more missing and Caps Lock light

    Have the U100 beep a warning when you accidentally click on the SHIFT key is convenient (see my 31.8.05 post), but a beautiful new step is to load a bit of freeware called cAPSlOCKhASSER. He sits quietly in the system tray, but if you press NumLock shift, he flashes a warning and immediately turns distributed lock.

    I found it on the site Web of Easy2Sink, my favorite file sync software email. You can download it from http://www.easy2sync.de/en/download/. I now have a shortcut to cAPSlOCKhASSER.exe in your startup folder so it starts at startup.

    Either way, if you want to disable the caps lock http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t14629.html total offers a reg file sloppy to disable the caps lock and another to restore it. They worked fine when I tried to get out them, but turn off the caps lock is too drastic for me and cAPSlOCKhASSER suits me better.
