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?

This feature is not useful for most users. Some of us use Caps Lock for the following reasons: 1) while playing games, 2) writing code, 3) writing scripts or other documents that will require the function. APPLE PLEASE REMOVE THIS ANNOYING FEATURE AS THIS DOES NOT HELP WHEN THERE IS ALREADY A LIGHT ON THE KEYBOARD!!!!!!!!!

Thank you richardm04. It works for me.
This did not work. Arrow reappears.
actually, this is false.
But it won't stay off for very long. It's stupidly designed and really distracting.
Just here to confirm this single Terminal command worked.
Thanks so much for this 🙏🏽
What if I what to reverse the change?
IT actually seems to shut off the caps lock too. So you're actually turning off your caps lock with a mouse. Then you hit CAPS LOCK key again and the dumb arrow is back.
Thank you! This solved it.
Now I'm hoping the mysterious letter "A", and the odd "√" that appears when the "A" is clicked, are also gone.

This does not fix it. Clicking caps indicator arrow shuts off Caps Lock. When you turn Caps Lock back on, indicator arrow comes back. Super annoying and intrusive. Please fix asap Apple.
Still fighting the good fight I see. 😎
I gave up explaining the simple workaround.
i just keep one finger on the shift key all the time so that it's there when i need it
Thank you for the tip Ken! Your simple terminal command worked perfectly. 16-inch, 2019 MacBook Pro 16,1 macOS Sonoma 14.4
Thank you!
