We can also tell Turkish users not to use CapsLock; or live with a casing that doesn't corresponds to their locale... but those aren't real solutions, only workarounds. I thought it was too difficult to fix back then; but now I see that special behaviour for numeric pad is added; so why not a small handling for Turkish style casing ? > It should be possible in Xlib's code for handling > lock == Caps_Lock to simply special case this; if the lower case > key is 'i', then check to see whether the key in the second level > is 'I' or 'Idotabove', and act accordingly. Such one is a nice idea, it wouldn't even need the introduction of a special keyword. If someone knows where on Xlib code that casing is done, I may take a look at it.
