Caps Block

Build Status

Overview

Provides the ability in Windows to help force the Caps Lock key in a toggled off state while still allowing programs to use the key.

This application was created with the goal of supporting the Caps Lock key as a voice key for various voice-supporting applications. Users can use the key to trigger a voice event, but also reduce the chance that the Caps Lock key is left enabled.

Install

  1. Extract the capsblock-portable.zip package and place the contents in any desired directory (e.g. C:\capsblock).
  2. (optional) Run the install.bat script to have the program start after logging in.
  3. Run capsblock.exe, which will run in the background.

Users can also use shutdown.bat to terminate the program (or use the task manager, if preferred). Also, an uninstall.bat script is provided to unregister the application from starting when the user logs in.
