I occasionally use caps lock, and so I thought it’d be nice to toggle it via OneShot. This works: OSM(LeftShift)…OSM(RightShift) and I also use ActiveModColor along side it but it’s not exactly what I want. If I double click on either shift it does the OneShot+mod color thing just fine, but it also ‘capitalizes’ non-alphabetic characters (, . / - and the numerics). Is there a way to set it up so that a double click of shift leaves me in caps lock just like in OneShot, but only for a-z? ---

> [@ewosborne](#): > > Is there a way to set it up so that a double click of shift leaves me in caps lock just like in OneShot, but only for a-z? Do you want to use `Shift` in a one-shot mode? Or were you trying one-shot only for the dobule-tap locking behaviour? If the latter, then TapDance can help, and I’ll happily provide an example. If the former… that’s a bit harder to accomplish, as there is no ready-made solution just yet (but I guess a combination of tap-dance and oneshot could work…) ---

I like OneShot for other things, but specific to caps lock I was only using shift+OneShot for double tap locking behavior, at least so far. If you can provide an example that’d be great. Thanks! eric ---

```auto void tapDanceAction(uint8_t tapDanceIndex, byte row, byte col, uint8_t tapCount, kaleidoscope::TapDance::ActionType tapDanceAction) { switch (tapDanceIndex) { case SHIFT_CAPS: { static bool isCapsOn; if (tapDanceAction == kaleidoscope::TapDance::Release) { Macros.play(MACRO(T(CapsLock))); if (isCapsOn) { isCapsOn = false; return; } isCapsOn = true; } return tapDanceActionKeys(tapCount, tapDanceAction, Key_LeftShift, Key_CapsLock); } } } ``` When you press this once and hold it, it will act as a `LeftShift`. Tap it twice, and it will become `CapsLock`. To make it possible to turn `Caps Lock` off with a single tap, we remember if it turned on, and regardless of `tapCount`, turn it off if it was on. Mind you, this is untested, you may have to adjust it a little. ---

This is where I plug [my plugin](https://community.keyboard.io/t/kaleidoscope-capslock-turns-letter-keys-red-when-caps-lock-is-on/993?u=fedward), which does light up the keys, but which is triggered by a press of `Key_CapsLock` instead of a double tap of a shift key. It may or may not be close enough to the functionality you want. I’m not sure how it would behave if you used TapDance to send the `Key_CapsLock` event instead of binding it somewhere in your keymap, but if you try it and it works in combination with TapDance report back! ---

I’m finally getting around to trying this. Newbie Arduino question: I’m on Windows, where do I put your code once I download it from Github? I see C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\examples\ but don’t see a keyboardio directory anywhere obvious. Do I put something in ‘additional board manager urls’? eric ---

It goes under `Arduino/keyboardio/hardware/avr/libraries`, which is a directory that will be created when you follow the [Kaleidoscope build instructions](https://github.com/keyboardio/Kaleidoscope). I’m also new at Arduino, so I don’t know how the “additional board manager urls” configuration would work.
