Type a U with spacebar when typing all capital letters in computer braille. You can type that combination twice to turn on all caps. Type this combination a third time to turn off caps lock. You need to be in a prompt which requires computer braille or in a text document for this to work. I discovered this doesn't work in a braille document. I'm using Keysoft 6.1.1.
