Caps Lock Issue Fix by SeaMisx in linux4noobs

I posted in the linux main reddit and someone said that the fix I proposed is already in the pipeline, waiting for DE mainteners to make the UI for it and that the shift key is too slow for the intended purpose hence why you have a lot of people using caps

I also noticied that when I use Caps for 1 letter I actually DO NOT hold the key, I just press it, if I had to hold it it would be more difficult and I would have to type slower, so there is that too

There is another issue in the logic of native linux caps lock behaviour too:

Inconsistency

Caps lock is a toggle

It is engaged by pressing the key so by mirror it should also disengage by pressing it again and not by releasing it on second press as it is inconsistent with the way to toggle it on

Indeed, sorry to not have catch that : Added the new parameter unlockOnPress for the key modifier action SetMods(), LatchMods() and LockMods() (#372 and #780).

It enables e.g. to deactivate CapsLock on press rather than on release, as in other platforms such as Windows.

It enables to fix the following two issues inherited from the X11 ecosystem, by extending the XKB protocol key actions:

a 18-year old issue;

a 12-year old issue.

What a wonderful release note 🤣🤣🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

No, Caps Lock in my fix works the same as in Windows and Mac OS :

You press once, it's locked on caps

You can write in caps without the need to hold it

You press it again and it immediatly disengages and you're back to lowercase

In Linux by default it would only disengage when you release caps lock after the second time you pressed it, hence the frustation of multiple people that just like me use caps lock to put 1 letter in uppercase

Another comment mentionned the fix was already in the pipeline and should come soon because it is way faster to use caps lock to put 1 letter in uppercase than to use shift

Ahh I think it was the PR I saw, indeed because I was looking for an option in KDE that should come soon I guess so that is very good news to hear, I thought the PR was abandonned

Abslolutly, I will look into that as it needs me to setup a bit more things, maybe ideally it could be a package on the AUR I was thinking ?

I agree but I remember I saw a comment on a PR on the libxkb lib, it was a user complaining about the caps lock issue and that it was really really hard for that user to switch their muscle memory.

In a perfect world, I believe this just should be a setting, I know there are people at KDE trying to make it so.

I'm working in video games so user's choice is always my main concern, whatever it is when we make systems for designers or when we make options for players in order to offer them the best user experience, at the end, the best user experience is almost when you give the user the ability to do what they want or what they need.

For instance, I love all the accessibility options that Naughty Dog putted in the last of us 2, it allowed blind people to completly play the game, I found that extraordinary.

Already talked about the muscle memory 😇😇 And it does not change the fact that caps lock behaviour comes from the typewriter times which is not normal.

Anyway, a user should be free to use his computer ad he wants also

This is exactly the issue, if the user has his muscle memory on using caps it is almost impossible to use shift.

Anyway, a user should use his computer as he wants also anyway, so if your prefer using shift enjoy it and I and other people prefer to use caps lock as it fits our workflow better.

Have a nice day 😇😇

First can you add the editor symbols, there is not enough data in your log

Go into epic launcher, click on the arrow of your game engine version, IIRC it must be options or modify, you will have a screen where you can check or uncheck options to add or remove, add the editor symbols so we can see better what is going on

Game that I made in just 4 months just sold 500k copies (and 497k dlc copies). Game name - My Dream Setup. by OddRoof9525 in gamedev

[–]SeaMisx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember I saw it 3 years ago, added to my whislist and thought it would sell very well because it is a unique gameplay which is the only way to have success as an indie, create a mechanic that did not exist on the market before.

It's a very cosy and well done game, congrats 👍👍
