Re: [orca-list] caps Lock issue

Hi Zahari.

What version of Orca and gnome-shell are you using?

I am using Orca master and gnome-shell version 3.18.1. Having set my
keyboard layout to laptop and Orca to launch automatically, CapsLock is
always my Orca modifier upon login. If I switch layouts between English
and Spanish (via Super+Space), the keyboard layout changes for input but
CapsLock continues to work as my Orca modifier. I don't have to restart
Orca at all for this to be the case.

Thus I'm afraid I need more information from you. Sorry!
