Use This Hidden Setting to Stop Triggering Caps Lock Accidentally

This tip isn't for most people, but read on if you struggle with accidentally touching the Caps Lock key while typing and having your text suddenly TURN INTO CAPITAL LETTERS, or accidentally enabling it when entering a password. If you don't use the Caps Lock key, you can prevent this mistake by disabling it entirely or remapping it to another modifier key. In macOS 13 Ventura and later, click the Apple menu > System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Modifier Keys, and choose from the pop-up menu next to Caps Lock. (In earlier versions of macOS, click the Apple menu > System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Keys.)
