Description of problem: The .bashrc entry: xmodmap -e "remove lock = Caps_Lock" no longer (after upgrading from fc13 to fc15) switches off the Caps Lock key. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bash --version GNU bash, version 4.2.10(1)-release (i386-redhat-linux-gnu) How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. stick the line in .bashrc 2. source .bashrc 3. toggle the Caps Lock key (should no longer toggle, but does) Actual results: Caps Lock not switched off Expected results: Caps Lock switched off Additional info:
I don't see any relation to bash. Changing component to xorg-x11-server-utils
I believe that the correct sanctioned way is xmodmap -e 'clear Lock' (mentioned in the manpage). Unless it is broken for you, I stand behind this bug being a configuration issue.
Neither xmodmap -e "remove lock = Caps_Lock" nor xmodmap -e 'clear Lock' nor xmodmap -e "clear Lock" seem to work; Caps Lock remains active (toggling) in all cases. RR
