Disable Caps Lock Indicator on macOS Sonoma
A feature has been added to macOS Sonoma - the onscreen caps lock indicator.
While i am sure this may be useful for some, for me it is not, is there any way to disable it?

Found a solution. In Terminal:
sudo mkdir -p /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain
sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add 'redesigned_text_cursor:Enabled' bool false" /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/UIKit.plist
Then reboot. After reboot - problem solved.
It’s not for programmers. It is a lot easier than you think. It is just copy and paste two lines into terminal. It is either that or wait for apple to add the option to turn it off.

This icon is a feature, just one you find annoying.
WHY CAN'T I JUST TURN IT OFF!!!
Because Apple didn't give you that option. You can let them know your feelings on the matter here:
ONLY ANSWER HERE IS FOR PROGRAMERS. NUTS.
Pasting a couple of lines of coded into Terminal isn't most people's idea of "programming". Using Terminal can be a bit intimidating, especially to younger folks who never used DOS or UNIX but it's really not that hard.
Oh, an please, while it's still working on your computer, pay attention to the caps lock indicator. You mistakenly typed your entire post in caps. I'm sure you wouldn't want people to think you were intentionally being rude to us, your fellow users.
I admire your stick-to-itiveness. 😎

Tell Apple how you feel:
Thank you

You can only mark two posts as "Helpful" in a given thread.
Odd. I haven't marked any posts as helpful in this thread.

You didn't create the post. Create your own and you can mark it Helpful or Solved.

There is the "Helpful" button under posts that people other than the OP can use. But, as I understand it, that also only allows two per thread.
OK, I'm feeling stupider by the minute. I clicked on "reply" to reply to yochees' post and post a thank you. I don't understand why I wouldn't be able to mark yochees' answer as helpful.
