Perfect - I had the keyboard setting for caps lock turned off… With it turned on, both triple tap of shift, and split double tap of shift enable caps lock. Thanks! On Feb 20, 2012, at 8:00 AM, Garth Humphreys wrote: > Do a triple tap on the shift. If this doesn't work for you, go into settings

Do a triple tap on the shift. If this doesn't work for you, go into settings, General and Keyboard and make sure you have the Caps Lock feature enabled. Garth @BlindTechMusing On 20/02/2012, at 3:18 PM, Jeffrey Wheatley wrote: > This sounds very useful, but I have been unsuccessful getting

This sounds very useful, but I have been unsuccessful getting it to work. I want to get a caps-lock effect so I can tap multiple capital letters in a row. When I am in touch typing mode, I touch the Shift key with one finger, keep my finger in place, and then use another finger to tap twice. My

Hi Ann (& y'all), Yeh thanks, it finally worked. I tried triple-tapping & quad-tapping:-) to no avail. The split-tapping was indeed the ticket… Thanks for the info… On the subject of IPhone-related questions appearing on this list, maybe it's a trend that will continue, given the foreseen sy

Alternatively, move to shift, then tap three times. The tripple tap with vo on is the same as the double tap with vo off. As Anne pointed out, split tapping twice does the same thing, which I didn't know. On 2/15/12, Anne Robertson wrote: > Hello Jean-Claude, > > To put the shift lock on, place o
