Disable caps lock key I have a new MacBook Air and I keep bumping the caps lock key. As you can imagine this is really frustrating. 

Is there a way to totally disable the caps lock key without having to install software or mucking around with Terminal?
You can do this via System Preferences.

More specifically:


Go to Apple > System Preferences…
Click on the Keyboard pane
At bottom right click on the Modifier Keys… button
Now click on the Caps Lock button to select the No Action option  
Exit System Preferences
