Public bug reported: It is a well documented fact that newer mac keyboards induce a slight delay when pressing capslock, to reduce accidental keypresses. However, on OS X, this delay is removed when remapping to another key such as Control. However, this does not appear to be the case in Ubuntu (specifically, Lucid Lynx). So it must be possible to disable the delay in software.
As noted here: <http://colemak.com/Mac>, apparently PCKeyboardHack, an OS X program for which source is available (<http://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/extra.html>) can disable this delay; perhaps that would be helpful. ** Affects: mactel-support Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Caps Lock key has slight delay, even when remapped to "Control" or similar (MacBookPro 5,3, but probably applies to others) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585244 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mactel Support, which is the registrant for Mactel Support.
