FKey commodity bug?

Post by Phantom »

I just encountered a possibly bug regarding the FKey commodity. I have mapped "Left Amiga + Space Bar" to run an ARexx script and change my keymap from greek to english and back forth, but when the Caps Lock is active, it doesn't work. It just enters a blank character (the same as you press the Space Bar only of course).

I'd say works as designed. Caps is a qualifier like Shift, Alt, Ctrl and Amiga. I'd guess that Amiga + Alt + Space or Amiga + Shift + Space do not trigger your Amiga + Space setting, either.

Just add "-capslock" to your hotkey definition (i.e. "-capslock lamiga space"). This will ignore the capslock key.
