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
