It definitely exists. It’s far more noticable if you plug a keyboard into your MacBook. There are threads all over Mac forums and stack exchange asking how to disable it.
I use an external mechanical keyboard exclusively.
Ok, just went to my work machine and I guess you’re right. If you hit the caps lock key quickly it doesn’t register. Don’t know why I never noticed, I am a software engineer. The ai writes all my SQL now though, so…
Then be happy you naturally hit the caps lock key slowly enough to have never noticed this. When flipping back and forth between caps lock in SQL it drives me up the wall.
Seriously though, why are you writing your own SQL still? It’s the language LLMs are the most accurate at translating English into. Like, the most insane inline aggregation, nested transaction nonsense; it just does it for you if you describe what you want and it knows your schema.
It doesn’t know the schema nor can it due to the sensitivity of the data I work with. It’s also faster to write the SQL than to describe it to the LLM. Once you get used to it, SQL is easier than English.
You can keep it private. And if you think you’re better than it you haven’t tried it. You can name the statement, and it will figure out what you want.
What? Mine doesn’t do that. I’ve been using Mac’s since 2016 when I learned to code, and I’ve never seen this behavior.
After the user mentioned it , I looked it up. It’s all over Apple’s supper threads. Hilariously, there’s an old reddit thread about it

To be clear though, I never noticed either until I started writing SQL regularly. It never causes me problems when writing regular code

It depends on the SQL. Anything non-trivial is still much better to write by hand to keep the intent clear.
