<div dir="ltr"><div>I'm using capslock to switch between hebrew and English.</div><div><br></div>Once in a while the capslock key is reversed, and when I switch back to English, everything I'm writing is in caps.<div>
The only workaround I found is disabling the Hebrew language, and adding it again.<br><div><br></div></div></div></blockquote><div><b>Shift+CapsLock</b> toggles the caps functionality if you use CapsLock to switch layout.<br>
I tend to occasionally press them together by mistake; I guess that's what happened to you.<br>
If you'd rather supress it entirely (who wants to SHOUT anyway?), the following command seems to do the trick:<br><br>xmodmap -e "remove lock = Caps_Lock"<br><br>(you should arrange it to run on every login)<br>

</div><div>In order to find the culprit, I'm thinking about running something in the spirit of the excellent sysinternals Process Monitor [1]. I need something which would logs all applications that access any of the X functions that might cause this issue. Then when the problem will happen again, I'll take a look at the log, and find out who did that.</div>
<div><br></div><div>How can I do that, if at all?</div><div><br></div><div>Does anyone have a better idea of how to approach this problem?</div><div><br></div><div>[1] I can't use directly the equivalent of Process Monitor for Unix (dtrace or system tap), since I'm not interested in a system call, but in a call for a specific function in the X shared library.</div>
