Bug Description
I am installing Ubuntu for someone who would like to keep the windows behaviour for "caps lock" (they never need to write ÉÈÀÇ), they prefer write numbers activating "caps lock".
In System → Preferences → Keyboard → Layout → Other options... there are a lot of choices, but no one give the behaviour they want :
- caps lock activated → when typing on key 'a' it writes 'A', when typing on '2/é' it writes '2' (but not 'É')
- caps lock deactivated → when typing on key 'a' it writes 'a', when typing on '2/é' it writes 'é'
The last option (caps-lock behaves as Shift locked) give this behaviour, but it is exactly as if we keep the shift key pressed, so:
- caps lock LED doesn't change
- left and right keys select a text instead of move the cursor
Do you plan to add this option?
