'''Caps Lock''' ({{key press|CAPS LOCK}}) is a button on a [[computer keyboard]] that causes all letters of [[Bicameral script|bicameral scripts]] to be generated in capital letters. It is a [[Toggle switch|toggle key]]: each press reverses the previous action. Some keyboards also implement a light to give visual feedback about whether it is on or off. Exactly what Caps Lock does depends on the keyboard hardware, the [[operating system]], the [[device driver]], and the [[keyboard layout]]. Usually, the effect is limited to letter keys. Letters of non-bicameral scripts (e.g. [[Arabic]], [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]], [[Hindi]]) and non-letter characters are generated normally.
