As I code deeper and deeper into the night, my dexterity gets worse and worse. I end up slapping the Caps Lock Key without realizing it. By using this little feature in windows, I have the OS audibility warn me when this occurs.

Are you ever in the middle of A SENTENCE AND ACCIDENTLY HIT YOUR CAPS LOCK KEY? (Oh, that’s painful to read.)

Using one of the accessibility options within windows, you can enable an audible warning when you accidently hit this evil key.

1. Click Start
2. Select Settings
3. Select Control Panel
4. Select Accessibility Options
5. Click Use ToggleKeys
6. Click OK

Now, everytime your fat little fingers hit that key, you will receive a warning tone reminding you to TURN YOUR CAPS LOCK OFF.

Heh.
