MacOS does not send KeyPress/KeyRelease "properly" for the caps lock
key. Both are sent together each time the key is pressed. It makes it
impossible to use the key as a modifier.
Something has to go in at a deeper level (such as uControl or
DoubleCommand) and receive the special events that indicate when the key
is really released before it can be used as a modifier.
Perhaps a good enhancement would be to make X11 itself receive the extra
events so that it could properly report this key. This would require a
kernel extension, though.
Does uControl or DoubleCommand work with X11?
