Maya is case sensitive, which means it distinguishes between lowercase and uppercase letters. This is a status to indicate that your caps lock is on, meaning all your hotkeys&nbsp;will be the capital letter hotkey if nothing else is pressed.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>With caps lock on: pressing b = B</P> <P>With caps lock off: pressing b = b &nbsp; &nbsp;pressing shift + b = B</P> Mon, 23 Jan 2017 22:13:37 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-modeling-forum/what-does-the-caps-lock-do/m-p/6825747#M19837 matthew.d 2017-01-23T22:13:37Z
