Re: [orca-list] caps Lock issue

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,

I can't reproduce this either, however Zahari has also mentioned that 
shift+capslock is supposed to toggle capital letters. This is something 
I don't seem able to get to work here.
When orca keyboard layout is set to laptop the only way to toggle 
capslock state for me is by using pass next key through orca+backspace.

Is / should this be also working?

Greetings

Peter
