I am currently trying to learn how to program and while doing some courses, I try to make so notes. Because in my notes there is a lot of code, I did not like auto capitalization and turned off. But, using the same setting, you can also switch it on, if you wish so.

I am using a MacBook Pro with macOS Sierra 10.12.6 but I can image that in other devices using this option will be similar. OK, let's start, it is going to be very short tutorial 🙂

First you need to go to System Preferences. If you have a gear icon in your Dock, click it. Alternatively, click Apple logo in the left top corner and choose System preferences from drop-down menu:

Then click on the Keyboard icon.

After you opened options for your Mac Keyboard, you will see the menu with some further links: Keyboard, Text, Shortcuts, Input Sources and Dictation. We are interested in Text tab, click on it.

On the right-hand side you will find the option Capitalize words automatically. In my computer, as you can see below, it is unmarked so the characters at the beginning of the sentence do not get capitalized. If you want it to happen, you need to click the checkbox and leave it marked.

You do not need to confirm it, just close the window by clicking the red dot. I think it is a good idea to check if everything works as intended. Open a blank document, start typing and check if words get capitalized.

Depending on your choice, the letters should or should not capitalize across all the word editing applications. On my Mac I use a few different word editors and email app, and this capitalize words option seems to include all of them. It may be possible however that some applications from iTunes can override this general option. If this happens, you may need to check the setting of a particular app.

That is all today, I hope you now know how to switch on and off character auto capitalization on Mac and MacBook. Please feel free to write a comment if you have any questions.
