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?

OK maryo10 and others asking, here goes. There is nothing magic about using Terminal for Apple if you follow the steps verbatim and copy and paste the Command exactly as printed from a trusted source.
First you have to be logged on your computer as the Administrator. In other words you need to be logged on and able to make changes by entering your username/admin password.
Here is how to access the Terminal app
Go to Applications/Utilities/Terminal App. Open The Terminal App
Once open Click Return/Enter (you should see your computer name and your user name) Now you are ready to enter the command
Copy and Paste (do not try to write it) the command that yochess posted. Disable Caps Lock Indicator on macOS Sono… - Apple Community The post is the third post I believe.
I will reprint it here but all credit goes to yochees This command has worked perfectly for me. MacBookPro running Sonoma
Make sure you copy and paste exactly as written. No spaces and no deletions.
With Terminal app open and your username showing copy the first line of the command and paste to the Terminal app.
Click Return/Enter and it will ask for your admin password. Enter password and click Return/Enter
First line of command
sudo mkdir -p /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain
Now copy the last two lines of the command and paste to the Terminal app.
Click Return/Enter.
Last two lines of command
sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add 'redesigned_text_cursor:Enabled' bool false" /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/UIKit.plist
Now restart your computer. All done.
Hope this helps.
Dear yochees,
Congratulations !!
I am not a expert user of Mac’s.
If you have some time please write tha solution step by step.
For example: How can I access “Terminal” ?
Well done, Yochees. You are a star. Top work. Brilliant. Thank you.
Dear yochees,
How could I undo this modification in the future ?
+1 I agree. Especially since you can temporarily disable it.
It worked for me!
That was really annoying. Thanks yochees!
I just report this MAJOR ANNOYANCE just now, too!
Check this.
Lack of empathy or imagination? Inappropriate generalization of one's own peculiar preferences? For some, it is easy to imagine what is intolerable to others.
yochees,
Second request, first by me. Please offer details about how to undo the changes that turn it off.
Thanks again.
A better question is…why would you want it back on? :) I am sure Apple will add the option to turn it on and off at some point thru accessibility where it should have always been.
OMG this is so annoying, obviously for those that can't touch type - APPLE please allow us to switch this offf!
That's not really temporary. :)
Well, it's permanent until you run the code to reverse it. And I like Sonoma fine even with the Caps Indicator. I also don't bother with screen savers, beautiful or otherwise. 😎
Ha! I'll have to check that out.
I had them installed for a bit just to relive the past. I got over it. 🤣
