CAPS LOCK bahavior impossible to set?
Hello to all, here is my problem :
My mom is addicted to the CAPS_LOCK behaviour she learned to type with (on old typwriters) and she used to have under wind*ws: CAPS_LOCK set caps ON SHIFT set caps OFF Now i try to reproduce this behavior using the Option "XkbOptions" "caps:shift" on top of the french layout of the keyboard, either directly in XF86Config-4, or using the kde interface to xkb... Nothing changes... (the same problem happened using a knoppix-dumped-on-hd and a mandrake 10.0 so i don't think it's distro-related) I don't know how to do it, maybe using loadkeys or xmodmap, i am open to any suggestion... :Pengy: Please help me before my mom makes me mad and asks to reinstall windows!! :/ |
Have a look in your DM's (most likely KDE with
Knoppix and Mandrake?) settings ... KControl -> Regional & Accessibility -> Keyboard Layout Cheers, Tink |
did it already...
alas, thanx for your reply, but i began doing it in KDE, noticing it didn't work, then trying more elaborate solutions...
actually changing anything in the kxdm menu does _nothing_ ... maybe it's specific to my french keyboard layout, i don't know.... :confused: any other idea? |

after hours of tweaking i finally found!! puting : keycode 66 = Shift_Lock in .xmodmap works fine! long live to xmodmap! :D painful death to xkb!! :mad: |
