[Bug 309434] Re: Caps Lock stops being a Control key with an external keyboard
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 289781 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289781 I also think the duplicate status *may* be wrong. Whereas #289781 describes a solution of running setxkbmap after resume, this wouldn't work to fix this bug. In this case, the keyboard mappings are lost every time the external keyboard is unplugged, so running it after resume won't guarantee proper functioning of the keyboard throughout the execution of the application, since a future disconnect of the external keyboard will bring the issue back. This ticket (309434) is the only one that clearly describes what the issue really is. BTW, I'm using a wireless keyboard, which means that every time that my keyboard loses connection even for a split second with its base, it resets my keyboardmap, making this the most annoying ubuntu bug I've come across, and a very important bug one to be fixed for any users of wireless keyboards with custom mappings.

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 289781 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289781 I think the duplicate status /may/ be wrong. That other bug has been variously "closed as incomplete" and marked as "probably fixed". Although its status is currently "new," there's no explanation why. It is not entirely clear that it's the same bug and it's especially not clear that the other bug is still considered to be an open issue, although I can confirm that this problem still exists. -- Caps Lock stops being a Control key with an external keyboard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/309434 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 309434] Re: Caps Lock stops being a Control key with an external keyboard
I can confirm that, having mapped Caps Lock to Control, my laptop keyboard's Caps Lock acts as a control key but my external keyboard's caps lock does not. Re-mapping it in gnome-keyboard-properties with the external keyboard connected makes all Caps Locks (including the laptop's) act as control, but disconnecting the external keyboard causes it to revert so that it only applies to the internal keyboard. ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None => gnome-control-center -- Caps Lock stops being a Control key with an external keyboard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/309434 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
