I don't think it's really useful. Like I said in an earlier note, we're
already dealing with a heuristics based algorithm because we're
attempting to detect dangling modifier presses. I'd rather see an option
that disabled the whole thing verses something specific to the LEDs.
You are referring to the
do-i-should-insert-extra-capslock/numlock-events logic in do_key_event() ?
Yup.
Well, we can turn off both, fine with me, after all they sort-of
belong together. Do you have an idea for a short
'no-capslock-and-numlock-tracking-heuristics' option name?
Maybe 'toggle-key-tracking=on|off' with an appropriate documentation
blurb. I don't know, it doesn't sound like a good name to me.
