Thanks for your report! That kind of issue is really upstream in nature, and nothing we would like to change in Ubuntu only. So it would be great if you could submit an upstream issue too:

Expected: Both pressing [shift]+[capslock] and [capslock]+[shift] should work as shift+ctrl modifier. What happened: [capslock]+[shift] works as expected, but [shift]+[capslock] still works as shift+capslock. This behavior is very confusing and annoying to me. Workaround: The problem can be avoided by editing /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ctrl as follows. --- ctrl.orig 2022-02-09 02:13:55.000000000 +0900 +++ ctrl 2023-01-14 18:57:15.589534502 +0900 @@ -14,7 +14,7 @@ // Swap the functions of the CapsLock key and the left Ctrl key. partial modifier_keys xkb_symbols "swapcaps" { - replace key <CAPS> { [ Control_L ] }; + replace key <CAPS> { [ Control_L, Control_L ] }; replace key <LCTL> { [ Caps_Lock ] }; modifier_map Control { <CAPS> }; modifier_map Lock { <LCTL> }; To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/2002869/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
