You can toggle caps lock on and off with
POKE 23658,0 caps off
POKE 23658,8 caps on
POKE 23658,0 caps off
POKE 23658,8 caps on

You could try writing to the FLAGS2 system variable (23658). Bit 3 is the CAPS LOCK flag. So POKE 23658,0 should work.
Every man should plant a tree, build a house, and write a ZX Spectrum game.

Follow up question, how about a POKE TO DISCONNECT THE CAPS KEY?
Re: Disable Caps Lock in basic?
I don't think you can, as its a ROM routine unless you're going to write your own key handling code for input perhaps. The ROM routine for keyscanning looks a bit messy (to my mind) with regards to doing this.alban lusitanae wrote: ↑Sun Mar 06, 2022 6:56 pm Follow up question, how about a POKE TO DISCONNECT THE CAPS KEY?

I remember there was a way to stop BREAK SPACE, so there should be a way to stop CAPS right?
