How do you set caps lock on the Acer A500 keyboard? I use that feature a lot and as it is I have to hold down the shift key for each capital letter. Most keyboards have a caps lock. Anyone found the key to this minor problem????
Just double tab the shift key
Thanks a lot. I had tried to double tap but evidently I did not make good on my second tap. It does work and thanks again.

I lost it. My keyboard - on the JAM does not show me the "caps" key anymore.
Do you still have Keyboard?
if yes go to settings select input and select,
small keys ,now your keyboard should have a caps lock key
have a nice day
Cool ! Got it.
What did you mean by "do I still have keyboard ?"
Should I replace it with something ?
Caps-lock is double tap on the shift key, right?
Use Resco keyboard
Is it possible to have the keyboard on caps lock instead of clicking the shift button every time when typing?

Try with double tap on that shift key next time
I had the same problem, but then coincidently tapped shift twice, and voilà, caps lock is on
Just wondering if there is a quick way to disable the swyping on the swype keyboard.
Love Swype but sometimes a std keyboard would be easier and I find I am changing back to the HTC keyboard for the odd message and then back again.
What swype needs is a quick way to turnoff the swype funtion and go Dumb mode.
Problem is if I type to quickly it starts picking it up as swypes
Thanks
Check settings, menu, all settings, personal, input.
Tought you could change it over there.
Thanks for the response however not really worried about switching between swype and another keyboard. More hoping there is a quick way to keep swype but make it faster as a normal keypad.
Some of my messages (Txt or Email) Swype is a bit of a hinderance. Trying to touch (tap tap) is painfully slow and so is switching between keyboards. (Bottom center. Tap slightly to the right will prompt for type of keyboard).
Eg entering in information and funny names I would like to tap one of the sype buttons and swype function is temporaily disabled. I then type what I need to (tap tap tap) then tap the key again and the swype function is reenbled and I carry on (swype swiggle swishe)
I feel your pain. Unfortunately, there isn't an option in Swype to turn of the "swyping" as you eloquently put it.
Hope they come out with a newer build that could do that and one where you can access the EDITING options with just one button press.
i simply press the small arrow next to the keyboard icon on the bottom of screen , and toggle to the normal, htc regular keyboard
edit: sorry, overlooked the op's main concern, please ignore

Hey, quick tip
you can quickly access the Editing options by swyping from the 'swype key' to the 'SYM key'
Dose anyone know how to change the input method with keyboard? Thanks a lot
If you want to use the alternate character for the key you can long press the individual key, press fn for a single use or long press fn for a locked position. The up arrow works the exact same way for capitalization. The ae key brings up the special characters for the entered letter and the smiley face is the emoticon button. The sym key brings up the onscreen keyboard symbols and don't forget to use the .com button while browsing.
Take a look at page 17 of the user manual and it explains things pretty well.
Also note that if you enter the people, messaging, email and search and a couple other things with the keyboard closed you can slide the keyboard open after entering and it will place you in the text field ready to type without an extra screen press. This is a very good keyboard if you get used to it.
Hi guys, does anyone know of any way to get to a settings menu for the touchpad on the keyboard dock? I would really like to disable the option that makes it act as a click when I touch the touchpad. Any time I'm typing with the touchpad on, my hand or finger will accidentally touch the trackpad and click on something. I've started disabling the whole mouse option while typing, but that adds a few extra steps every time I want to type something.
You can disable the touchpad completely with a button on the keyboard (5th button i think...)
