Fix for the capslock slow response - KDE Social
lemmy.kde.social
This is an issue that I know for a fact that is not specific to plasma, but I came here to ask for help since I run Plasma and I’m hoping that there is something I can change on the DE to fix it. Caps-lock is very slow and causes THis ISsue, and it is driving me crazy. I’m the person who can never learn how to use the shift to capitalize my letters and use caps-lock religiously. I have been using this [https://github.com/hexvalid/Linux-CapsLock-Delay-Fixer] fix on xorg, but it doesn’t work on wayland, and I’m now back to square one. Any kind soul here knows how I can fix this issue? Thank you

Hi all, I have already asked this question on the KDE forum and didn’t get many responses really, so I’m coming here for help. Any idea how to fix the caps lock key and make it work faster instead of THis? Thank you

      “Its always wayland” is the new “its always DNS”

        Except we all need DNS, and I have no need to use wayland

          X11 is pretty much abandonware at this point so youll have to eventually.

              For now but if its no longer being maintained it will eventually stop working on new hardware

      Save it and then go to “Gnome Tweaks” and activate the option “make Caps Lock an additional Ctrl” on “Additional Layout Options - Caps Lock behavior”.

      And how do I do that on Plasma? What’s the equivalent to that in plasma?

        If you are on Plasma 6, it should be “System Settings” - Keyboard - Advanced, select “Configure keyboard options”, and you’ll find the “Caps Lock behavior” - maybe even two, but one of them have a lot of options as to what you want to do with your Caps Lock key.

          I actually found that option (damn plasma has everything lol) and selecting it killed the capslock completely. However, doing whatever the person did in the link without the option selected fixed the issue.
