Keyboarding/Typing

[Guest guest]

To or anyone with this problem, there is an option that can be set (on XP

machines) that enables an audible warning every time you hit the Caps Lock, Num

Lock or Scroll Lock keys.

and while there is some sensation on the tip that the surgeon designed, it is

not like it was. Often I do not know whether I am hitting the " A " key, or the

caps lock, or both on the keyboard. That said, I am diabetic and I only tried

sticking that finger once to test my sugar. It hurt like the devil and throbbed

for several minutes afterward! Strange.

You can also " pop " these keys out from your keyboard, such that the cover with

the symbol is gone, but the key is still functional...with an entirely different

tactile sensation, and a much more difficult time accidentally activating these

keys.

Mac OS 10.6 has in the " edit " drop down menu which says " transformations, " which

will change the case either direction, and capitalize selected word(s).

Hope that helps.
