Subject: capslock key mapped with keytweak seems to be unbound by Emacs w32
Date: Sat, 26 Aug 2017 16:17:29 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <onsood0g6t@news6.newsguy.com> (raw)

I have been using Emacs from version 21 through 24.3.1 and I recently 
noticed that the capslock key does nothing in w32 Emacs. Works in Word, 
Notepad, Wordpad, browser and every other application that takes 
keyboard input.
C-h k shows nothing when capslock pressed (maybe it shouldn't; I never 
tried it before)
The only new thing I've noticed in my .emacs is a canlock customization 
line that is used by gnus, a package I never use anymore. I commented 
out this line from customization and also everything in .emacs that 
mentioned gnus but I still get no functionality by pressing capslock in 
Emacs.

I should mention that I have reassigned the ctl, alt, windows, etc keys 
with the keytweak utility (edits scancode assignments in registry) and 
in fact the functionality of \| key and capslock are swapped but that 
first key still works in Emacs and both work everywhere but in Emacs. 
Are there any w32 Emacs packages that would mess with a scancode 
assignment and then reset it on exit from Emacs ???

Any help or even only insight into this problem would be appeciated.


Thank you,

Ed
