Cap Lock Key for uppercase numeric value.

It has been addressed for a long time now. Enable "Sticky Keys":Change Keyboard Hardware preferences for accessibility on Mac - Apple Support.

Do that. Pressing the Shift key twice will cause the keyboard to act like a typewriter's "Shift Lock". It is not exactly what you would like to implement, but it comes close, and won't conflict with "normal" keyboard use.

The problem you want to overcome is that Caps Lock ≠ Shift Lock.

This is how I get it to work:

Use the + in the bottom left to add French - Numerical

Use the - to remove the Azerty

On my machine, activating the French Numerical Input Source lets you type numbers under Caps Lock. Is that not what you are looking for? Or does it really not work for you?

When you see this at the top right of your screen

And you press caps lock and then you press the keys in the top row, do you not get 1234567890 like I do?

Instead do you get &é"'(§è!çà ?

Thank you!!!!!

A big problem is that this is a relic from old typewriter keyboards. The behavior was inconsistent even among electronic typewriters.

It is one of those no-win scenarios. People think of Caps-Lock as just uppercasing letters, not numbers. Where shift will get the upper row on any numeric key. Trying to please everyone you end up pleasing no one.

I never knew that. The issue I see when implemented is that "Shift Lock" acts like Caps Lock on my keyboard. Plus, with Sticky Keys enabled Modifier keys open on the screen.
