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.
Another one of those senior moments?
Possibly. lol
ya mon ❗ what in the "hang" ⁉️
OK, seriously. Are you just trolling.

Do you seriously like Full Screen and Stage Manager?
The Caps Lock indicator is at least useful.
I hear you, that swiping around was disruptive to me as well. I turned all those features related to Full Screen and Stage Manager off immediately.
THE ICON IS NOT A FEATURE! IT IS INCREDIBLY ANNOYING. WHY CAN'T I JUST TURN IT OFF!!! ONLY ANSWER HERE IS FOR PROGRAMERS. NUTS.
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.
I admire your stick-to-itiveness. 😎

Thank you for posting the solution instead of another opinion. For some reason I'm not allowed to mark your reply as helpful. Can anyone else comment as to why?
