“INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY”
(OCTOBER 22ND)
.
-[caps lock] is a [button] on a [computer keyboard] that, when pressed, causes all [letters] to be generated in [capitals] until de-activated-
.
(it is located in the position of a similar Shift lock key (and sometimes a Ctrl key) found in some other keyboard layouts)
(it is usually a toggle key: each press reverses its action)
(exactly what Caps Lock does depends on the operating system and driver, and the keyboard layout implemented)
(on non-IBM PC-compatible computers it may also depend on the keyboard hardware)
(usually the effect is the limited to letter keys; letters are capitalized, and non-letter characters are generated normally)
(in other cases the key may affect all keys, for example the “5” key generates a “%” when caps-lock is pressed)
