In keyboard settings, there’s a setting to ”Disable Caps Lock”. Is this supposed to actually do something? It’s definitely not affecting caps lock in any way. I’ve been looking for a way to turn the caps lock key off completely because I hit it accidentally all the time and you have to hold it to turn it off, so it stops my typing for a while every time.
Is there a way to get rid of caps lock completely?
iPad Pro 2017, iOS 12.4
In Settings, there is an option to “Enable Caps Lock”:
Settings > General > Keyboard > Enable Caps Lock
With this setting enabled (default setting), when the on-screen keyboard is visible, a double-tap of the Shift key will engage Caps Lock; when enabled, the key will change from an upward pointing arrow to an upward pointing arrow with an underline:
Conversely, when disabled, you cannot engage the on-screen Caps Lock for the Shift key.
I hope this fully answers your question.

Hi Stiksi,
Here’s the solution:
How to Disable the Mac Caps Lock Key
Pls refer to the attached photo.
Hope this helps.
If you have in
Settings > General > Keyboard > Enable Caps Lock : ON
You can double tap Caps and you can type in CAPITAL LETTERS.
When it's OFF in settings, it will only capitalise One letter.
Ah, sorry, I misunderstood, this setting is for a shift key shortcut. And I’m completely out of luck, there is no way to turn off the caps lock key. Unless I find a lockless keyboard.
I’ll get me coat 😂
Well, that’s how it’s supposed to work BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, IT DOESN’T.
Ipad, mate, ipad 😀
Not shouting, just demonstrating Caps Lock 🙂
So, what happens when you select Enable Caps Lock? Does it not allow you to quickly double tap the Shift key to provide Caps Lock?
As I said, that setting does not work.
Hi Stiksi,
Just a suggestion: Perhaps you can consider getting an Apple Macbook or Apple Desktop then can completely disable Caps Lock using the solution which I provided just now.
I’ll get right on it.
Another device is an advantage to us, computer lovers.
Happy Shopping 🛍
