SUMMARY
I like to bind Yakuake to Caps lock.
In order to do this, I need two things: Disable the normal caps lock behavior
(why the heck isnt this default :P) and do bind it instead to a key, that can
be used to create a shortcut.
I add the following suggestion to the project: Please create an entry in
Keyboard > Advanced > Caps lock behavior (why are there two entries of this
category?) and let this entry say and do:
Caps lock sends F12
F12 is used to bind any application to caps lock really, and it could also be
another key. (But really, use F12, its the default and established key to
launch Yakuake and generally a good generic key to bind things to. People who
dont use Yakuake, have it free for other things.)
It could also be a custom key, but considering there is no such example in the
whole KCM yet for it, I imagine the API for it has not been implemented or
written yet, or it is against a design decision.
Thanks
