Guys, I seldom post or visit here. But here’s one where you all might have some guidance for me. I have an M1 MacBook Pro running Sonoma 14.4.1. I updated from 14.3 point something. Ever since 14.4.1, I’ve noticed that the CAPS LOCK key will not pause speech in any Mac application. Curiously, the Control Key does pause speech, even when it is not part of the VO key. That is, when you choose CAPS LOCk exclusively, Control should not pause speech. It does. In no case will CAPS LOCK pause speech.
I’ve tried this on my M1 and on my wife’s M1 with the same results. My wife is sighted and does not use VO. She also does not have any unusual third party apps like Sibelius that needs the CAPS LOCk for pause because it highjacks the Control key to move the user between the ribbon and the musical score you’re writing in. But both my wife and I have noticed the same behavior. Another gentleman in Germany has confirmed my findings. He is a Sibelius user but says his CAPS LOCk fails in Apple programs as well. Again, any effort you could make to test this and let me know if CAPS lock pauses VO speech would be very much appreciated.
