hi,
macbookpro mid-2010, macosx-10.6.4, xquartz-{2.3.5,2.5.3}
i'm experiencing some behaviour i'd like to get rid of
if possible.
when the capslock key is remapped to underscore
(using these xmodmap commands):
keycode 65 = underscore bar
clear Lock
this works and the physical capslock key becomes an
underscore key but the little capslock status light in
the capslock key still toggles on and off when used.
that's not a problem in itself.
then, whenever i paste text from the primary clipboard
(via the simulated middle button click) then the paste
works fine as long as the capslock light is off.
if the capslock light is on when i middle click to paste,
the text is pasted but only after two underscore characters appear.
it seems that some code thinks it's necessary to simulate
pressing the capslock key twice when pasting.
so, instead of pasting "example" it would paste "__example".
my workaround is to always make sure that the capslock light
is off when pasting (by typing _ and backspace) but it's
annoying and slows me down.
i first saw this behaviour with the X11.app that comes with
macosx-10.6.4 (xquartz-2.3.5) and it still happens in the
current version.
any ideas what i can try to fix this?
cheers,
raf
