Caps Lock problem

[casjohnr]

If I turn on Caps Lock, then go to the Symbol select keyboard and switch back Caps Lock has turned itself off.

Any way to keep it on? As I send a lot of serial numbers / MAC address codes via text so they're usually in the format xx-xx or yy:yy!

This is an issue that's always bothered me and I've never found a fix for it. I've checked in settings.app and never found a setting that would be of any help.

Of course, you'll know that a double tap on the shift key will keep caps on until you tap the shift key again to turn it off again. But that still doesn't help with your issue because when you go to symbols it automatically turns caps off again.

I find it annoying as well. Fortunately I don't need it very often.

I still wish they would implement an option for the "hold letter long for a caps" feature from Blackberry (unless it's patented...)

The way I've gotten around this (my password are....complex these days after my phone was stolen a while back) is that, the same way you can tap and "slide" over to the numeric keyboard, you can tap and slide with the caps lock key. I know it's not ideal, but you don't have to keep hitting the caps lock key back and forth and feels a little more natural when you're typing like that.
