Forcing keyboard state to lowercase
by rfg8ta from LinuxQuestions.org on (#552DZ)
I got me one of those programmable keypads, an ELSRA PK-2068. It works well, relatively easy to program.
So, I programmed one of the keys to "gedit file_blahX &" and it works.
(note that blahX has 4 lower case letters and one upper case one)
Until, I had the main keyboard on "Caps Lock" state.
What I did was a combination of ctrl-A alt-U alt-l etc here and there, and I
could make it work, but it is incredibly tedious and error prone.
I looked high and low for a command to flip Caps-Lock to lowercase, but
had no luck. I did find for TOGGLING the caps-Lock state, but then that
would not work on my keypad if the main keyboard was already lowercased.
Anyone know of a command to force the keyboard to Lowercase?
