Caps Lock Delay - how to fix it
Hi! I always thought that the Caps Lock key on my wife's MacBook Air (butterfly keyboard) had a defect, as it failed to turn on and off when pressed quickly. Today I noticed that my MacBook Pro M1 has the same issue. So after a bit of prodding I stumbled upon a very easy fix.
I went to Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard and then I enabled Slow Keys and by clicking "Options" I set the time slider all the way to the left (as in quicker).
Apple must have set this delay so that you don't accidentally press the Caps Lock key when trying to type. For me it had the exact opposite effect.
The only downside is the key's repetition time is slow. Very slow. So now my if I hold down the Backspace key, it deletes letters very slowly. A workaround to this would be to use Option + Backspace. That way I can delete by word instead of by letter.
Does anyone have any idea if there's a fix to the Caps Lock delay issue without affecting key repetition?
