[2.7.5.1] caps-lock disables keyboard shortcuts
Last modified: 2006-05-08 18:14:15 UTC
whenever CAPS LOCK is enabled, all keyboard shortcuts that use alphabet letters don't work any more. Solution: replace switch(key_pressed) {yadayadayada} with switch(to_lower(key_pressed)) {yadayadayada} or whatever handles the keyboards shortcut. If you want to catch Shift+key, test the shift modifier instead of the case of the letter.
fixed in current CVS, thanks.
