    Timeout was the wrong word. It has to be held for like a quarter second or something like that. It’s annoying as hell.

      That’s even worse IMO. Lol.

        Yeah it’s even worse when you remote in to a windows machine from a Mac. It has the caps lock annoyance and then the delay on the remote machine will cause the first keystroke after toggling caps lock to not actually know that it needs to toggle, so your sql looks like this sELECT * FROM Table_name tn wHERE Tn.thing = tRUE

        After the user mentioned it , I looked it up. It’s all over Apple’s supper threads. Hilariously, there’s an old reddit thread about it

        It definitely exists. It’s far more noticable if you plug a keyboard into your MacBook. There are threads all over Mac forums and stack exchange asking how to disable it.

            Then be happy you naturally hit the caps lock key slowly enough to have never noticed this. When flipping back and forth between caps lock in SQL it drives me up the wall.

            https://www.reddit.com/r/macbook/comments/o6q52c/mba_m1_caps_lock_key_delay/

            To be clear though, I never noticed either until I started writing SQL regularly. It never causes me problems when writing regular code

                It doesn’t know the schema nor can it due to the sensitivity of the data I work with. It’s also faster to write the SQL than to describe it to the LLM. Once you get used to it, SQL is easier than English.

                It depends on the SQL. Anything non-trivial is still much better to write by hand to keep the intent clear.
