seems to work fine for me. what's your xkb configuration (the output ofxkbcomp -xkb $DISPLAY -)?

I can confirm this problem is present for me.

IT (there we go again...) seems that the problem is due to the transition from upper- to lower-case occuring when the caps lock key is released, whereas the transition from lower-case to upper-case occurs when the key is pressed. So if you don't RELEASE caps lock before you hit the next key, it remains activated.


Example, starting with caps lock off and repeatedly pressing A:

0 1   2   3   4
aaAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaa

0: Caps Lock is off.
1: Pressed and held caps lock - light activated on keyboard.
2: Released caps lock.
3: Pressed and held caps lock again (to deactivate) - light goes off on keyboard.
4: Released caps lock.

Hope this makes sense, here's my xkb config FWIW.

Nah it's not about releasing the capslock button.

Looks like there is a problom with some non-english keyboards.
English keyboard users can not reproduce the problem.

I use an English (United Kingdom) keyboard.

Since here is a bug-report site, this is not a solution.

I've also seen this issue for a long time (Read: years) and is one of my main issues with Xorg.

Standard 105-key UK keyboard.

I would be inclined to agree with oz.mule+fdb@gmail.com [comment 2], as it seems to be caused by the CapsLock not being released (i.e. in a KeyUp state) prior to the next key being pressed.

If you change the key function to Shift_L/Shift rather than CapsLock/Lock, you get normal Shift function. If you change it to Shift_L/Lock, the issues arises again.

I would like to say that this has been an issue for quite some time, however many people resort to saying "stop using CapsLock and use Shift" - this is not a fix, it's a (very poor) workaround.

Sorry for the poor explanation, I'm a bit of an X/*nix amateur!

this seems to be a standard behaviour of locking modifiers - lock on press, unlock on second release.

what I don't get - why not just assign Shift to the CapsLock key?

(In reply to comment #7)

>

Because that simply doesn't work. Look at these examples:

CapsLock functioning as normal:
<CAPSLOCK KEY_DOWN><CAPSLOCK KEY_UP> T <CAPSLOCK KEY_DOWN><CAPSLOCK KEY_UP> est

Result:
Test

Shift functioning as normal:
<SHIFT KEY_DOWN> T <SHIFT KEY_UP> est

Result:
Test

When using CapsLock, there is a key down/up prior to the letter requiring capitalisation and again when switching back to lowercase. When using Shift, the key is pressed and held in a down state while writing the letters requiring capitalisation, then released for the rest of the characters.

Switching CapsLock to Shift doesn't alleviate the problem.

Right, that makes sense then, I misinterpreted how you were using capslock.

The problem isn't unlike bug 865, though the other way round. afaict,
there's nothing in the spec to dictate when locks have to be released but it's likely an issue where people feel strongminded about it either way and the current behaviour has been around for quite a while.

And also how I could type it wrong in Linux, while typing in same way for decade without any mistake in Windows.

Here is a video that I reproduce the problem on Pardus 2011 :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Xa6_yJYMsU

Here is another video on Ubuntu 11.04, that really represents the capslock-delay bug and can easily be reproduced.

Ubuntu 11.04 Capslock Delay While Switching to Lowercase :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVdu5lXz8RA

What's the situation now ? Any progress ?

One solution could be:

xmodmap -e 'keysym Caps_Lock = ISO_Next_Group ISO_Next_Group ISO_Prev_Group ISO_Prev_Group'
xmodmap -e 'keysym a = a A A a'

and so on for the other alphabetic keys.  I use xmodmap out of lazyness. Using xkbcomp would give more flexibility.  

In any event, the idea is to use another group for the caps lock function, rather than the modifier Lock. Group locks take place on keypress, and there is no distiction between set and reset, as there is for modifiers.

The proposal above wastes a group, but it works with existing X-servers and complies to the XKB protocol specification.

ANy Solution?? please??

Thank you.
I'm going to install Ubuntu again, hoping the patch will work.
I will post here the result.

I cannot really recommend patching your X server sources if you're not familiar with patch and how to compile the server after patching. too easy to end up with a unusable machine. Probably better to wait for others to test this patch and get up to speed in the meantime so you can help testing other patches in the future.

> http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/6538/

Now the people who release Caps Lock late are happy, and
those who press Caps Lock early will complain.
Unfortunately, for the latter, workarounds are more
difficult than the one I proposed above.  Furthermore, these
people have the XKB protocol specification on their side:

In section 6.3 of that specification, there is a table with
an entry that describes what LockMods should do.  It clearly
demands that base modifiers must be set on key press, a
requirement that is violated by the patch.  It also demands
that clearing of locked modifiers occurs at key release.
This was broken before the patch, but probably had no effect
besides the Caps Lock LED turned off prematurely.

The specification also demands support for two flags, noLock
and noUnlock, but the SetMods implementation lacks support
for these flags.  This is unfortunate, as the noLock flag
would provide an elegant solution to the problem at hand:
One could make the Caps Lock key an ALPHABETIC key.  The
lowercase level would lock the Lock modifier as usual.  The
uppercase level would use LockMods for the modifiers
Lock+Shift, with the noLock flag.  This would cause the
effective Lock and Shift modifiers to be set as long as the
key is held; the Shift would cancel the Lock.  After
release, the Lock modifier would be unlocked.  This is
exactly what we need.

So, please, revert the patch, and possibly, add support for
noLock and noUnlock flags.

Sorry, I should have written "LockMods" not "SetMods".

as pointed out in the patch: is there really a use case for someone requiring caps lock to be down when pressing it for the second time?

> So, please, revert the patch, 

the patch was merely proposed, it's not in any tree at this point.

> > Now the people who release Caps Lock late are happy, and

I do not know whether there are really people out there who tend
to press Caps Lock early.  If you submit the patch, we might find
out...

On the other hand, the behaviour desired by the late-releasers
can be obtained with a group lock.  Therefore, there is no use
case that would require patch 6538.

Apart from that, as you know, LockMods is not just there for
Lock, but for the other modifiers as well.  What people want to
do with it nobody can tell.  With XKB, one can do sophisticated
layouts with many levels and multiple locks, but doing so will
become a pain if XKB does not work as documented.  This is my
motivation for complaining.

patches accepted. Looks like the flag is defined and handled for the LockPtrButton case so that can serve as a model there.

I don't understand how this should work. Comment #0 states that we need lock to be released while the CapsLock key is down. noLock, if implemented, would still set the base modifier. So on the second press you have lock+base set → effectively set until key release. So it does not fix the key sequence

  caps press, caps release, caps press, a press, a release, caps release

The A will still be uppercase. Which is exactly what we have now. What am I missing here?

You miss the Shift, I believe.  This is what the key for A looks like:

    key <AC01> {
        type= "ALPHABETIC",
        symbols[Group1]= [               a,               A ]
    };

And this is ALPHABETIC:

    type "ALPHABETIC" {
        modifiers= Shift+Lock;
        map[Shift]= Level2;
        map[Lock]= Level2;
        level_name[Level1]= "Base";
        level_name[Level2]= "Caps";
    };

In my proposal, both Shift and Lock are set while the Caps Lock key is down the
second time.  Therefore, we select Level1, so we get an a, not an A.

This part works even now (without patch 6538).  You can try this by mapping
LockMods(modifiers=Shift+Lock) to a key.  But without the noLock flag, after
you release that key, you will end up with a locked Shift, of course.
(By the way, SetMods(modifiers=Shift+Lock, clearLocks) appears similar, but
does not work, as the clearLocks becomes ineffective if another key is pressed
while the modifier key is down -- both in reality and in the specification).

noLock and noUnlock in _XkbFilterLockState

With the patch, one can define Caps Lock this way:

  key <CAPS> {
    repeat=no,
    type[group1]="ALPHABETIC",
    symbols[group1]=[ Caps_Lock, Caps_Lock ],
    actions[group1]=[ LockMods(modifiers=Lock), Private(type=3,data[0]=1,data[1]=3,data[2]=3) ]
  };

to achieve the desired behaviour.

Support noLock and noUnlock in xkbcomp

This patch to xkbcomp allows to specify the noLock and noUnlock flag in a more natural syntax.  Instead of the Private action shown before, one now can write "LockMods(modifiers=Shift+Lock,affect=unlock)".

Support noLock and noUnlock in libxkbfile

With this patch, when creating .xkb from .xkm, the flags to LockMods get now displayed, rather being discarded.

The Xserver has very similar code, in xkb/xkbtext.c.  Is this still used? If so, it would need a change that is basically identical to this patch.

Probably not yet in a distribution, but Xorg server 1.12 is now out.  The
approach described in comment #27 will work with this Xserver version.

I have xorg server 1.12 installed. I believe i just have to define caps lock as described in comment #27. But i have no idea which file to edit, would you please help?

Also, anyone please let me know (leave a comment here) when this patch is applied to any linux distribution. Then I will start using linux.

Thanks a lot. The caps lock delay problem is gone away now. Is this method permanent or do i have to load my_xkbmap everytime i start x?

Another question. When i load my_xkbmap, i get the following warnings:

Warning:          Compat map for group 2 redefined
                  Using new definition

Are these warnings safe to ignore? I changed my_xkbmap's caps lock line like this:

    key <SPCE> {         [           space ] };
    key <CAPS> {
	repeat=no,
	type[group1]="ALPHABETIC",
	symbols[group1]=[ Caps_Lock, Caps_Lock ],
	actions[group1]=[ LockMods(modifiers=Lock),
	Private(type=3,data[0]=1,data[1]=3,data[2]=3) ]
    };
    key <FK01> {...

IAm currently typing on FEdora 17 installed on VIrtual BOx and nothing is fixed here. AS you see the delay problem still affects my typing.

Andreas, can you please file a xkeyboard-config bug to get this snipped introduced by default into the keymap. I think it's useful enough to carry it.

did you add the xkbcomp snippet or just use the layout as-is?

No I did not add anything. I just installed Fedora 17 and ran Firefox immediately to test it. I also do not know how to add that xkbcomp snippet. I haven't any linux experience because of this issue.

right. so the X server part of this issue is fixed and a modified key map as shown in comment #27 will emit the right behaviour. That key map is not standard and needs manual configuration, to make it standard we need a fix in the xkeyboard-config component (see comment #39). Until then, it won't work out of the box.

Please wait for Andreas to file a bug and the snippet to get committed to xkeyboard-config.

I will also be watching this develop, currently i use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and I have exp'd this issue since I've started using Linux 10 years ago.

I guess this fix isn't included in xkeyboard-config 2.7 by default.

Can someone please explain how i can make this fix permanent until xkeyboard-config gets fixed? A startup script won't work when i use a major desktop environment. Executing xkbcomp commands described in comment #36 everytime x starts is a pain.

Sorry for wasting another four months.  Now it is there, bug 56491.

The reason why my startup script wasn't working was because i forgot to make it executable. It's working now.

I'll keep this script until the next release of xkeyboard-config. Thanks a lot Andreas and Peter.
