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.

  • Satelite P50-A-14F - Caps Lock key does not work

    Hi all

    My CAPS LOCK key does not work on my laptop series satellite P50-A-14F. Just realized while writing an email that does not work, so is more or less sudden. Nothing has been spilled on it. Here's what I've checked so far:

    -green light indicating that CAPS is LOCKED turn everything on by pressing the key on the keyboard of the screen
    -Keyboard backlight does not start when I press the button, but it works for the key itself when you press a button any.
    -try a clean boot but no results.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Hello

    > Just realized while writing an email that does not work, so is more or less sudden.

    Have you tested the button LOCKING of upper CASE using different software: Web browser, by word or any other editor?
    How about using the external keyboard?

    From my point of view, there are two possible malfunctions: either there is a problem with the software that you use or the internal keyboard works badly simply and in this case, the replacement of keyboard will solve the problem.

    You could test the external USB keyboard. In case the button LOCKING of UPPER USB external keyboard functions, then the internal keyboard needs to be replaced for sure.

  • How can I get the airplay icon to appear? Changing the settings of firewall does not work

    How can I get the airplay icon to appear? Changing the settings of firewall does not work

    Hello Drjoe378,

    I understand that you do not see the AirPlay icon in iTunes on your Mac. If you have verified that your firewall is disabled or that the problem occurs regardless of the status of your firewall, there is a little more that can help return your ability to connect to AirPlay devices.

    1. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and Apple TV software.
    2. Connect your computer and other devices on the same network Wi - Fi. If you are using Ethernet, connect the two devices on the same router or hub. If you use the Wi - Fi and Ethernet, plug your device AirPlay the same router that your computer uses for Wi - Fi.
    3. Restart your computer, device AirPlay and network router.
    4. Because some Airplay devices include a power switch for AirPlay option, look for the option in the settings and make sure that the feature is enabled. Refer to the user guide of the device for more information.

    Use AirPlay to stream content from iTunes on your computer wireless

  • Double click on the ios10 lock screen does not display Apple pay even if it is enabled in the settings

    Double click on the ios10 lock screen does not display Apple pay even if it is enabled in the settings.

    Hello JPMain,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. I understand Apple pay is not an option when the double click the Home button. I know access pay Apple for a locked screen can do so useful everyday. I'm happy to help you to get this resolved with you.

    I recommend first restart your iPhone. This can solve many unexpected behaviours. Follow the steps below if necessary.

    1. Press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Red slider appears.
    2. Drag the slider to turn off your device completely off.
    3. Once the device turns off, press and hold the sleep/wake button again until you see the Apple logo.

    Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    If the problem persists, the next option would be to reset all settings. It takes all the defaults, including passwords and Wi - Fi networks, alerts, notifications, brightness, wallpaper and sounds. This will also remove your cards Pay of Apple. Even if no content is lost with this step, it is always a good idea to back up first. If you do not have a recent backup, use the following link for assistance if necessary.

    The backup of your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

    Once you have correctly saved, reset all settings in settings > general > reset > reset all settings.

    Have a great day!

    I think that the message of contextual text for the Caps Lock key is an element that is installed by the computer manufacturer. See the computer documentation or ask the computer manufacturer about this.

    I hope this helps.

  • Disable the CAPS LOCK key.

    I did some research on the web on how to disable that pesky caps lock key, but I thought you guys could provide more reliable answers. I'm reasonably proficient with computers, but my fat fingers keep hitting the SHIFT KEY AND THEN EVERYTHING LOOKS LIKE IT UNTIL I have to REALIZE it AND REVERT BACK and re - type. I do it a lot and it's driving me crazy! Help please!
    Thank you very much!

    I understand that you have found some suggestions on editing the registry - they aren't so bad. If you don't want to download all of the files that allow you to disable the LOCKING of the capital LETTERS, you can create it by yourself:

    1. Press the Windows key + R > type notepad , and then press enter
    2. Paste to Notepad:

      Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
      "Scancode Map" = hex: 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 02, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 3A, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00

    3. File > record under...
      • Select to Save as: all files
      • Enter the file name : disable_caps_lock.reg
      • Click Save
    4. Right-click on the created file > merge
    5. Restart your system

    In case you want to turn CAPS LOCK on again, you must remove this registry entry, so you must do the following:

    1. Press the Windows key + R > type regedit and press enter
    2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout
    3. Right click on the Card of Scancode > delete
    4. Restart your system

    I guess that it is perhaps the only way to turn off the CAPS LOCK.

    In case you still don't want to do this, Windows 7 offers something different to disable the LOCKING of the upper CASE. You can turn the ToggleKeys, then you will hear a beep when you press CAPS LOCK. To do this follow these steps:

    1. Press Start > Control Panel > access > easy access Center > make the keyboard easier to use
    2. Check the box to enable the ToggleKeys
  • Cannot install the v18 Beta in Windows 8 due to restrictions of Windows Update.  How can I work around those?  Change the approach to update does not seem to help.

    HI - we are trying to install the beta version (18) on a Windows 8 machine for one of our customers.  But, the update of Windows does not allow that to happen.  We changed the approach of updating to do not have the automatic updates.  But that does not solve the problem.  Any help is appreciated!  I guess it's a pretty easy fix, but unfortunately I'm not Windows savvy these days.

    Thank you!

    Oh, it's not good advice.  Uninstall the last update to Flash will not remove Flash of the system, and it will leave you with a vulnerable version, the Senior Flash Player.  Install the player ActiveX for Win7 won't upgrade Flash Player component built into Internet Explorer, then the user will be still stuck with an outdated version and no beta version until they run windows update again.

    We distribute a beta version for Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and over all because we do not have this distribution channel (it's the same reason that we do not have a beta of Chrome), and the binary of Win8 differ from those we publish for Windows 7.  There is no effective way to do at the moment.

    We talk to Microsoft to provide a mechanism for the distribution of beta versions and releases of extended support of Flash Player in Win8 + users, but these vehicles of distribution would have to come directly from Microsoft and we always talk just to this topic, so there is no solution in the short term.

    If you want to evaluate beta versions on Win8 + you look essentially NPAPI on Firefox or PPAPI on the opera.

    Pilot was handed in place.

    Have tried reset default and many other things - yesterday was working - light today and not...

    Help!

    Hello

    If the wireless network adapter does not work or its lack in the device, the FN + F8 key combination Manager would not work.
    So the problem is your wireless network card.

    The WLan card driver is missing or malfunctioning of the WiFi chip.
    The device uses the Realtek RTL8188CE WLan card.
    Have you installed the chip RTL8188CE WLan driver?
    Make sure what you've done!

    Otherwise, if the WLan card is not listed in the Manager (no unknown device or Ethernet controller) devices marked with yellow exclamation point I guess that the module is faulty.
