Maybe by telling Emacs? Use caps-mode: (defun caps-mode-self-insert-command (&optional n) "Like `self-insert-command', but uppercase the the typed character." (interactive "p") (insert-char (upcase last-command-char) n)) (defvar caps-mode-map nil) (when (fboundp 'define-minor-mode) (define-minor-mode caps-mode "Toggle caps mode. With no argument, this command toggles the mode. Non-null prefix argument turns on the mode. Null prefix argument turns off the mode. When caps mode is enabled, all letters are inserted in their capitalized form." :init-value nil :lighter " Caps" (setq caps-mode-map (let ((map (make-sparse-keymap))) (substitute-key-definition 'self-insert-command 'caps-mode-self-insert-command map global-map) map)) (if caps-mode (add-to-list 'minor-mode-map-alist (cons 'caps-mode caps-mode-map)) (setq minor-mode-map-alist (delete (assoc 'caps-mode minor-mode-map-alist) minor-mode-map-alist))))) -- __Pascal Bourguignon__
