You have been subscribed to a public bug:
well, i did a clean install of maverick and selected neo2 (a german
keyoard-layout with large similarities to DVORAK) as default layout.
naturally i needed to change the layout when my first guests arrived and
they needed to look something up. now i have the keyboard application
indicator which allows me to switch between layouts. the problem is:
neo2 layout is not fully functional now (even if i remove regular german
layout). with neo2, one can reach third level by pressing caps lock.
unfortunately the caps lock stays a capslock now, no matter what. so i
cannot use the neo2 layout anymore, because i cannot reach level 3.
that's a terrible bug: if i would have removed regular german layout
before recognizing that it ruined my other layout i would not have been
able to type my root/user password anymore.
WORKAROUND: Ok, now i figured out what maybe causing this: If i add
another layout in the keyboard options, the tool automatically sets a
shortcut for switching between those layouts, namely SHIFT + CAPS LOCK.
So just go to Keyboard > Layouts > Options > Keys to change Layout, and
then uncheck the concerning shortcut.
