Now runs on 10.5 and 10.6!
CAPS Warn is designed for
people who type
with one hand using Sticky Keys, or for anyone who presses the Caps
Lock key frequently by mistake.
CAPS
Warn
is a Preference
Pane that provides: A) on-screen indications of when the Caps Lock,
Shift, Function (Fn), Control, Option, or Command keys are pressed (or
stuck on by Sticky Keys) or B) warnings that: 1) you have
turned
on the CAPS Lock and/or 2) you have typed a
specified
number (default 5) of keys with the SHIFT key (or Sticky Keys SHIFT) or
CAPS Lock and/or you have turned on the Num Lock. CAPS Warn warns you
regardless of what application you are typing into.
The CAPS Warn preference
pane appears above with the default settings shown.
Enabling CAPS Warn via
this
Preference Pane will automatically disable any previous version
of CAPS Warn.
For CAPS
Warn to be able to warn you about multiple shifted key
presses, you must
turn on "Enable access for assistive devices" in the Universal Access
System Preference panel (as shown below), and then
enable CAPS Warn.
