Hi,
while trying to map caps lock as ctrl on my 12" powerbook I noticed that
the keypress and release events don't seem to work as expected. While
e.g. alt generates the "KeyPress-Event" when pushing down the key and
the KeyRelease-Event when letting it go "caps lock" seems to generate
the events differently:
- it generates KeyPress+KeyRelease when pushing down the key and the LED was
off
- it generates KeyPress+KeyRelease when releasing the key and the LED was on
Using showkey on the console confirms this behaviour. This seems to
caused by
/*
* adb kludge!! Imitate pc caps lock behaviour by
* generating an up/down event for each time caps
* is pressed/released. Also, makes sure that the
* LED are handled. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
*/
case 0x39:
handle_scancode(0x39, 1);
handle_scancode(0x39, 0);
tasklet_schedule(&keyboard_tasklet);
return;
in mac_keyb.c. What exactly is the reason for not generating a keyup on
release and keydown on press?
