caps-lockipadkeyboardsettings
Let's say I'm typing a word in ALL-CAPS on the iPad. Currently, the only way I know of how to do this is to press SHIFT before each of the letters.
Is there an alternative, like a sticky shift or Caps Lock function, where I can just go into a caps mode, type the letters I want as all caps, and then go back to normal text entry? I've tried keeping my finger on the shift key as well while I type, but that doesn't work as expected.
It seems (only) the input source "French - Numerical" will behave like Window Caps Lock (with iNVERSE sHIFT):
Found that info here.
But note that this will come with a rather unusual keyboard layout (at least for me).
Thanks Daniel for pointing the right direction.
Open Ukelele and save your (current) layout to a file (e.g. by "New from current input source" and "Save"):
Open the .xml file in a text editor and find the mapIndex that you want to use for the combination ⇧ + ⇪ (shift + caps-lock). For German I used mapIndex="0". Insert this line:
<modifier keys="shift caps"/>
Find all other occurrences of this combination and comment them out (or delete the lines). Again for German it's:
<keyMapSelect mapIndex="1">
<modifier keys="anyShift"/>
<modifier keys="shift rightShift? caps? rightOption? rightControl"/>
<modifier keys="shift rightShift? caps? rightOption rightControl?"/>
<!--<modifier keys="shift rightShift? caps rightOption? rightControl?"/> -->
</keyMapSelect>
Re-open the modified file with Ukelele.
Here is a comparison of the "German" layout before and after the modification:
Follow the instructions in Ukelele to create a new input source (Name, ID, installation).
I didn't test the modified file, should work though.

Tap the Settings app. and click on the General *menu* > the Keyboard. Then turn "Enable Caps Lock" on.
Now just double-tap the shift key to enable caps lock once using the keyboard.
