Title:
  [osk] Allow multi-touch for capital button

Status in Ubuntu Keyboard:
  New
Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  Fix Committed
Status in ubuntu-keyboard package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The keyboard should use multi-touch to allow uppercase letters to be
  quickly typed. That is, holding the caps button down with one finger
  should allow typing uppercase letters with the other fingers.

  This can work with the existing design, if another button is pressed
  while holding down the caps key it should cancel the caps-lock when
  the user lets go of the caps button. If no other button is pressed
  before the user lets go, it should work as currently designed and
  enable the caps lock.

  Adding this feature allows more intuitive input, allowing users to use
  this in the same manner as a shift button on a physical keyboard.

  -- UX solution --

  OnPress the SHIFT key, user should be able to type as many letters as they want UPPERCASE
  OnRelease, it will revert revert to lowercase
