Initially, I believed this was on OpenOffice problem but Abiword and, indeed, Gedit, display the same problem, so it must be an Ubuntu glitch.
I was typing a document and used CapsLock when creating a title. Now, when I turn CapsLock off, everything is in caps - when I turn it on, everything is in lower case.
I have an older version of RHEL. In newer versions, there is usually an option to map the caps key to the esc key. How would I do this in an old version?
Going to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layout Options -> CapsLock Key behavior doesn't have the option to switch caps lock key to escape key.
My Caps Lock key on my keyboard is not working.
The light indicator does not come on and nothing is capitalized when typing.
What do i need to do to fix this issue.
xmodmap -e "add Lock = Caps_Lock" did not work.
Swapped out other keyboards and still have the same results. The Caps Lock is working on all three on windows.
A linux newbie here! I own a netbook which doesn't have any indicator leds. So I decided to write a small shell script that would notify me when the capslock key is pressed.
I've been trying to swap CAPS LOCK key with Tab key. So the CAPS LOCK key shouldn't turn on the CAPS anymore, instead, act as the Tab key. Some people told me that I should create a .Xmodmap file in the ~/ directory. But I have no idea what's next.
Any suggestions?
I went through Ubuntu's system settings to change caps lock -> control.
I used to be able to press + + in order to navigate backwards through tabs in web browsers. However, I recently switched to a goldtouch keyboard and this key combination does not seem to work. (though the caps lock still functions as control, the combination of the three keys does not seem to register).
Why you copy the caps lock indication behavior from Windows XP?
The caps lock indicator is only been visible at start of login, during entering password it's gone.
That's very irritating, because if you start entering password with head down, you miss any caps lock situation.
By then hopen an adaption soon. :o)

And it looks like there is a solution! In order to switch to something like Caps Lock or Alt Shift, you need to set the shortcut for "Modifiers-only switch to next source" rather than "Switch to next input source". To set it, you need to press and hold the disable button, mouse over the one you want (Caps Lock), and release the mouse.
I know how to use xmodmap to remap the Caps lock key so it acts as a Control key, or as an Escape key.
