Did you know that AlomWare Toolbox can enhance your keyboard? For example, are you sick of accidentally turning off Num Lock by mistake? Lock it on so you always type numbers on the keypad instead of it accidentally moving the cursor.

Here's some other keyboard enhancements:

  • Have closing brackets auto-typed when you type the opening bracket.
  • There's a Caps Lock status indicator for laptops (and also Num/Scroll lock).
  • Hear mechanical typewriter sounds as you type (perfect for auditory feedback).
  • Do you sometimes press the Enter key too quickly after typing a form on a website, and therefore submit something with typos? You can now make your keyboard wait half a second before Enter can be pressed after typing, saving you from the wrong text being submitted and the potential embarrassment that follows it.
