- British Shift Cancels Caps Lock
- Andrew May © 1994
-
- This is a custom keyboard layout that allows lower case
- characters to be typed when the caps lock key is down by
- pressing shift.
-
- For example…
-
- Modifiers Keys
- none abcdef 12345 [].
- Shift ABCDEF !@£$% {}>
- Caps Lock ABCDEF 12345 [].
- Shift-Caps Lock abcdef !@£$% {}>
-
- To use it (under System 7.x), make sure that the only application
- running is the Finder™ then drag the keymap over the closed
- System Folder, and klick OK.
-
- Then either use the Keyboards Control Panel to select it or press
- Option-Command-Space to cycle through the keymaps in the
- System File. You'll have to guess which one you're using though as
- there is no visual indiciation. Unless of course you turn on the
- keyboards menu
-
- Here’s how: Open the System file with ResEdit. (ResEdit will
- warn you that it is hazardous to edit the same System file that
- you are using, but its such a small change that you should get away
- with it.) Open the 'itlc' resource. Change the value of the “Always
- Show Keybd. Icon” flag from 0 to 1. Close and save changes.
-
- When you restart there should be an extra icon in the menu bar to
- the left of the Application menu. This alows you to change
- keymaps and also gives an indication of which one you're currently
- using.
-
- ----------------
- This keymap is distibuted as freeware. Give it to whoever you
- please. All I ask is that this README file stays with it.

- To find out more about keymaps have a look at Keyboard Switcher
- by James W. Walker.
