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.
This is more complicated than most of us know how to do. Please can there be an easy way to turn this stupid blue arrow off. It's terrible to work around!
REALLY ANNOYING FEATURE!!!!!

Why are you shouting at us? We can't do anything about it.
Tell Apple:
I'm not shouting, just agreeing with all of you
No one said you were shouting; that post was not addressed to you. It was in response to someone who posted in ALL CAPS, which in internet messaging is considered shouting.
For me this only turns off the caps lock, it doesn't stop the icon from showing up when the caps lock key is subsequently activated, at least that's what's happening in Sonoma 14.4.1.
This feature is really annoying. I hate it.
Yes. Not everyone has the same preferences. That is why this helpful/irritating feature should be a preference, not something forced on everyone.
Not the case. I click on the indicator and it does disappear until I move to the next line then it's on again. This is very annoying.
I know this is unrelated, but do you think you could check out my problem?

I owe you a beer!!!!!!!!!
Is it possible to translate this for the less computer savvy please? :)
Finally a useful solution. Thank you.

To be fair, the solution was posted six months ago.
