Favorite Mac Hacks: Disable the Caps Lock Key

This one has bugged me for years... How many times have you accidentally hit the Caps Lock key but didn't realize it until you've already typed a sentence. To avoid lots of retyping, just disable the Caps Lock key.

In OS 10.4.10 (this might have been around earlier, let me know) go to System Preferences --> Keyboard, and hit "Modifier Keys" in the bottom left corner. For "Caps Lock Key", select "No action". Done. You can easily switch back too.

There are other third-party methods, but this one is built-in and official.
