You can disable the Caps Lock indicator by running this command in the Terminal then restarting…

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/UIKit.plist redesigned_text_cursor -dict-add Enabled -bool NO


You have to run it whenever there is a macOS update.


You re-enable it with this command…

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/UIKit.plist redesigned_text_cursor -dict-add Enabled -bool YES
