# The extra special ergodox build for MacOS Sierra caps lock users
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###Do you
|
||
|
|
- Hate the OSX / MacOS caps lock delay?
|
||
|
|
- Have an ergodox?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###Then this might just be for you!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[This](http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/81234/how-to-remove-caps-lock-delay-on-apple-macbook-pro-aluminum-keyboard)
|
||
|
|
and [this](http://sleepycow.org/2014/07/removing-the-caps-lock-delay-on-a-macbook/)
|
||
|
|
are good workarounds for the caps lock delay, however none of these
|
||
|
|
work on Sierra. This abomination of a keymap simulates capslock to the best
|
||
|
|
of its abilities.
|
||
|
|
This means that it keeps track of caps lock state internally rather than
|
||
|
|
sending a caps lock keypress to the OS. It is smart enough to check for
|
||
|
|
modifiers, such as Control being held down, and stop it with the hanky panky
|
||
|
|
and just send on the key event unmolested even if FakeCaps is enabled. And
|
||
|
|
since the macro isn't even registered on the non-alphas, it will not affect
|
||
|
|
them regardless. Only in the event that FakeCaps is enabled and an alpha key
|
||
|
|
is pressed will it sneak in a shift keydown before the alpha keydown and
|
||
|
|
immediately afterward sneaks in a shift keyup. Generally this works well,
|
||
|
|
however there is one known issue:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Holding down a key will only have the first character in caps. For instance,
|
||
|
|
with caps lock on, if you hold down the 'a' key, you get:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I have only tested this on an original Ergodox with a Teensy 2.0.
