[Solved] "Shift cancels Caps Lock" setting not working with Q4OS 5

hchiper · 2024-05-08 09:34

I have a Belgian (default) keyboard. In Advanced Keyboard Settings I have checked this option:

Advanced > Miscellaneous compatibility options > Shift cancels Caps Lock

With Q4OS 4 it has the expected effect.
With Q4OS 5 it has no effect, even after reboot.
Any help appreciated.

Edit
Everything is fine in a live session.

We will check this issue and post back asap.

Thanks, but I believe I SOLVED the issue some minutes ago...
In the same "Advanced" tab for keyboard settings, under "Switching to another layout",
- Alt+Space (only) is checked in Q4OS 4 / Plasma,
- Alt+Shift (only) is checked in Q4OS 5 / Plasma.
I unchecked this last option in Q4OS 5 / Plasma, Apply, and this solved the issue.
