Caps Lock For Input Methods That Use Symbol Keys As Letter Keys

Caps Lock For Input Methods That Use Symbol Keys As Letter Keys

[Yoshiku Onu]

Hi!

I'm using the 'english-dvorak' input-method, (M-x set-input-method <CR> 
english-dvorak).

When using Caps Lock, it works fine for the keys that would normally be 
letters on a QWERTY layout. However, for the keys that would normally be 
symbols on a QWERTY layout, such as the ';', '.' and '/' keys, it 
doesn't capitalize them.

I see that this is also a problem with the Russian and Bulgarian input 
methods.

Is this a known problem? Is there any way I can solve or workaround this 
problem?

See this for custom up- and downcasing on CAPS, see

  https://dataswamp.org/~incal/emacs-init/caps-back.el

But: Do you really want to upcase ':', '.', and '/' - since they
don't have a case, even?

Or, if you do, the first step is then to decide what upcasing
them really means.

You want CAPS to subsequently output the SHIFT chars, i.e.
for your three examples, ':', '>' and '?' ?
