Caps Lock Behaviour Disabled in Gnome

Re:Caps Lock Behaviour Disabled in Gnome by 28304283409234 on Friday September 29, 2023 @02:07AM (#37699848)

Fun fact: macOS adds a default delay to the CapsLock to prevent this. Quick tap will not enable CapsLock. Only long tap.

Also fun: when remapping the CapsLock to control key using default macOS tools this behaviour remains. Eg: Mapping it to ctrl and trying to exit a shell command with ctrl+c only works with a long press. Super annoying.

Like all things on macOS you need a third party tool, like carabiner.

Is there a way to do this on windows? After switching from a Mac to a pc with a Keychron mechanical keyboard I AM SUDDENLY SHOUTING ALL MY PASSWORDS

The issue is a mix of me being used to super flat Mac keys and not having that caps lock delay

holy shit, for years I've though that the capslock is just bugged, usually had to press it twice, because it didn't register, but other keys were working correctly.

what a stupid hidden behaviour, no wonder that the whole apple ecosystem is pissing me off.

EDIT: had to search for it, just can't believe how stupid it is: https://www.reddit.com/r/macbook/comments/o6q52c/mba_m1_caps...

I know right! I mean, I can understand doing this when CapsLock feature is actually enabled. But when disabled and key is remapped to another function? Very annoying.
