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.
I don´t understand what is the solution.
Please explain.
Thank you! I was able to copy/paste the first text. But I can´t copy/paste the second text. It is not possible.
What can I do?
Yes, definitely. Since upgrading to Sonoma, my blinking cursor isn't visible in many situations. I think it relates to the Accent Color one chooses in System Settings: Appearance.
Thank you! It is solved.
I want this feature, but It's not available for MACBOOK
This is so annoying.
Thank-you!! This was so annoying while working in Windows on Parallels VM using business software that required caps lock being on all the time. Stupid blue arrow jumping around all over my screen.
works, thank you
OMG! I just noticed Apple added this godawful feature to iOS too!!!! I just noticed on my iPad when I hit caps lock and there that arrow was! Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!
Well known forum glitch. If it persists, log out and log back in.
how do I remove it easily? I do NOT want it and its gets in my way since I need caps on all the time???

Work has been very stressful. Answering even repetitive questions is therapeutic.

Sorry to hear that. Hope it stops.

Not something I would have guessed. 😎
Perfect. It works right away and only gets rid of the “pop-up icon”: the CAPS LOCK functionality is intact. Thanks — that was indeed annoying
