[Bug 309434] Re: Caps Lock stops being a Control key with an external keyboard

 

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 289781 ***

I also think the duplicate status *may* be wrong. Whereas #289781
describes a solution of running setxkbmap after resume, this wouldn't
work to fix this bug.

In this case, the keyboard mappings are lost every time the external
keyboard is unplugged, so running it after resume won't guarantee proper
functioning of the keyboard throughout the execution of the application,
since a future disconnect of the external keyboard will bring the issue
back.

This  ticket (309434) is the only one that clearly describes what the
issue really is.

BTW, I'm using a wireless keyboard, which means that every time that my
keyboard loses connection even for a split second with its base, it
resets my keyboardmap, making this the most annoying ubuntu bug I've
come across, and a very important bug one to be fixed for any users of
wireless keyboards with custom mappings.

Thanks for your time,
Marcos
