Intellimouse x CAPS LOCK

Anonymous — Mon, 19 Apr 2004 22:53:52 GMT

I use AC 8.1 with Intellimouse. I really enjoy specific software buttons, but one thing annoys me with AC: I often hit Caps Lock when writing in AC, and I just leave it pressed on most cases, but Intellimouse´s extra buttons doesn´t work when Caps lock is on. Not really productive hitting Caps lock all the time. Really annoying.
Anyone had the same experience?
Thanks,
Ricardo Borges

ricardo, i
i share your pain.
what i have done on my xp machine is set a tone if caps are turned on or off. this is done by turning on a 'toggle key' which is found under control panel> accessability options> keyboard, down at the bottom is a selection for toggle keys. whats one more sound w/ ac's jukebox...
i imagine there is an osx feature like this.
what different things do you have your intellimouse set for?

Thanks for your reply Tim. I actually found a solution: just choose F keys for your software specific shortcuts and the state of Caps Locks won´t matter anymore.
