Caps Lock Indicator in Library about mixxx HOT 11 OPEN

Funnily enough, the caps lock indicator shows up on tracks, but not in the search bar where it would actually be useful...

But yeah, this has tripped me up a bit too, I think macOS Sonoma introduced it. The keyboard language picker that randomly pops up every now and then falls in a similar vein...

Why is this an issue, and what should Mixxx do about it in your opinion?

@ronso0 Usually on macOS the caps lock indicator is only where a cursor in a text field is located.

I don't think that text is meant to be editble, and even if it is (for some reason), it's pointing to the wrong row? So ideally it just wouldn't show that at all.

I see.
Do you have library inline-editing enabled?
Do you have keyboard shortcuts enabled?
How does toggling both options affect the indicator?

I've always had inline editing mode truned off. Turning it on and clicking on the song title, launches me into edit mode. The caps lock indicator is still in the wrong place until I touch a key, then it jumps to where I'd expect it to be:

Okay, and

Do you have keyboard shortcuts enabled?

from mixxx.

I couldn't find anything about keyboard shortcuts in settings so I'm not sure.

That said, Cmd-F will take me to the search box - so yes?

from mixxx.

It's in the Options menu.

Ctrl+F is one of the hard-coded, always-on hotkeys (like Space to maximize the library, Ctrl+R for recording etc.)

Ah! Yes, it's enabled. Assuming I don't need to restart, I still get the caps lock indicator when it's disabled.

Well, I doubt Mixxx can do anything about it. I'd say it's a Qt issue, or rather a not quite perfect way of macOS to detect 'editable' fields. In both cases it'll likely take some time until it's fixed.
I suggest you report the issue to Qt (the library is a QTableView).

FWIW this entire 'feature' capslock indicator seems to annoy many users.
And it can be turned off only via command line.
(and I don't get why it's necessary in the first place: there's a CapsLock LED on Apple keyboards + you notice Caps is on when you type, so what?)

Hah! Can confirm.
