Just tested it on my Ubuntu Edgy box, and as far I can tell you're mistaken. In Keyboard preferences, look for the "Layout Options", then "Compose key position". Now I have a British Thinkpad keyboard. If I tick "Right alt is compose" then pressing [AltGr] + ['] (that's apostrophe) then [e] outputs an e acute. But let's say I tick "Caps Lock is Compose". Now two things happen. First Caps Lock no longer affects capitalization. And second, it acts just like [AltGr] before. If I press [Caps Lock] + ['] then [e], it outputs an e acute. But pressing [Caps Lock] then ['] then [e] outputs an apostrophe then a normal e. Doesn't that imply it is no longer latching? -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis _______________________________________________ gnome-accessibility-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list
