    Hello everyone :hi2:

    So I got my np9150 SE a month or so ago and am absolutely loving it so far. There is only one minor complaint I have, but I feel like it can be fixed. I don't know if anyone's ever brought this up before, but here it goes.
    As I'm sure you are all aware, if you press caps lock or nums lock, and various other things such as brightness control, little box icons show up in the top left of the screen. My issue is with the caps lock because I don't type in a traditional way. Every time I capitalize a letter i don't use the shift key like you're supposed to. I tap the caps lock key, press the key i want to capitalize, then press caps lock again to turn it off and continue typing my sentence. The problem with my typing style is that when this caps lock indicator pops up in the left, it messes up my typing because its like the cursor is being moved from the field i'm typing in. so i have to click back in the box and continue typing...It's rather annoying. I don't know if that made sense but does anyone know of a way to disable those indicators ? I would appreciate it :)

    Thanks for that. Worked perfectly! I was in the same boat and it was slowly driving me mad!

    This is probably the best step. If your'e inadvertently grazing the trackpad when you hit the caps lock, you can disable it temporarily per your hotkeys as well. It's a common occurrence. :)
