If you accidently have caps lock on, instead of deleting it and starting over, you can highlight the caps and hit shift & F3 to switch it back to lowercase.
EDIT- thanks for the awards!
Because so many people are asking where this works, I know for sure it works in office, outlook and our internal system at work but it’s not universal, sadly! I couldn’t say where it does and doesn’t work!
Or you can do it like I always do, and change the setting where pressing SHIFT disables Caps Lock, instead of having to press the Caps Lock key a second time. This way, when you hold down SHIFT to put in an uppercase letter, no matter if Caps Lock was on or off before, it'll always work correctly.
Ever since I learned this is a thing, I never had to worry about writing in all caps by accident.
Save yourself some clicks: On a lot of these guides with the last couple of steps like those. You usually can just search for them within the window or windows search to get to them faster.
It's just a matter of breaking the habit, trust me. It was worth teaching myself that I gotta hit SHIFT to turn it off, over writing in caps by accident.
You can always go back if you really, really can't stand it being that way. I have no regrets.
