caps lock
noun
: a function on a computer keyboard that mimics the effect of holding down a shift key
Depending on the way the terminal or keyboard is designed, when caps lock is in effect the shift key may be ignored or it may cause a reverse shift: when the caps lock is in effect, the shift key puts letters back into lowercase.—Infoworld
