“Kill Caps Lock” on the Mac

Published on December 2, 2006 in Apple, Asides and Technical. 0 Comments

I can’t believe I didn’t know this before. It is so simple to completely disable the Caps Lock key on any Mac. I always hit it when I want to hit tab or shift instead. I never use it intentionally (when’s the last time you typed a signficant number of capital letters in a row?), so I am thrilled that I have found this tip.

Mac Developers are Awesome

TextMate IconTextMate, the best Mac text editor out there, received an update a few days ago, and it is now Halloween compatible. Check out its awesome new icon at right. There are at least two other thematic surprises hidden within the application that I won’t spoil… ;)

Update: Halloween is over, and TextMate has reverted back to the normal theme. Apparently some people didn’t like the implications of the picture. They probably still live with their parents. Luckily the icon is still available.
