Caps lock not locking caps

The key shift works in turning them on, also the key caps lock works since holding it and s works as a shortcut for "save as". But on the other hand, shift+s+t doesn't open the terminal and other shortcuts with the big s don't work that way either. Also the green light on my keyboard doesn't turn on when I press caps lock. Thanks for your attention and sorry for my clumsy english.

The `setxkbmap` command in the file at ~/.config/openbox/autostart is what disables your caps lock key, remove that line to stop this happening.

Re: Caps lock not locking caps

Thank you, caps lock now works correctly. But shortcuts with s like s+t still don't work.

Re: Caps lock not locking caps

If by "s" you mean the Super (Windows) key, have you tried the xev command in a terminal? What is the output when you start xev and try the Super key?

Oh, hah, I didn't know the S was the windows key, I'm new to linux. Thanks to you both.

Re: Caps lock not locking caps

Now, the dates for the posts in this thread are somewhat messed up. Today is 2017-06-29 (29.jun.2017)

As it is, it seems we al posted here before the first messa was posted.

Weird...

UPDATE: Pretty silly of me, to mistake "Register Date" with the date of the post. Duh...

Thanks for not saying anything. :8

Thank you brother! Only just noticed no caps on my system, and came more or less straight to the answer. Cheers.

Re: Caps lock not locking caps

capslock will be enabled by default in Helium.
