I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Azerty laptop. It's frustrating that there is no light or sign or any indication that cap locks is on. Does anyone know how/where to find that or set up some indication. I googled and it said some sound indication could be put in but that didn't seem to work.

This may seem a stupid remark, but did you have the sound on?

I have the PC sound on but I will go back and check if there is some other thingy in the program itself and maybe try and install it again.
This is the first PC I have ever had where the caps lock doesn't have some indicator.
As it is an AZERTY keyboard, some key actions are different for a touch typist so what you think you have typed doesn't appear so on the screen because the caps lock is either on or off !

I use an "app" from traystatus.com. Used it for a long time. It says free 30 day trial but they say "After 30 days you can continue to use the free version forever" and that is true. It shows as an indicator on the bottom toolbar

Thanks all. In fact, when I turned the pc sound up more, it does emit a sound - I must have had the sound turned too low - but what I miss is to see visually something telling me it is on before I start typing. I'll have a look at the suggestions above.

I don't know if this is the right User Manual for your particular laptop, but you might find some answers here. As my Dad used to say, "If all else fails, read the instructions.."  Good luck! |

Tks a ton for that, will go into it to see if it is the manual for this one.
Yes, OH always said "RTFM" - read the flippin' manual. It would certainly have been a help if I had had a manual to look at.I have googled several times and one search said that some of the models had no CL indicator.

If your laptop has a USB slot, then if your current keyboard (with no warning light) is driving you nuts, then maybe you could pick up a mini stand-alone k/b with a CL warning light and plug it in.. Just a thought. |
