In the older version, with "Double tap needed for ctrl/alt/shift tap hotkeys" checked, a hotkey configured for ctrl+tap-caps-lock works as expected when holding down ctrl and tapping caps lock twice. A hotkey configured for tap-caps-lock without a modifier also works as expected when tapping the unmodified caps lock key twice. In addition to triggering the command, use of the key also changes the caps lock key state. So with 2 taps, it gets back to original state, but with only one, the caps lock state has changed after using the hotkey. In current version, with or without "Double tap needed for ctrl/alt/shift tap hotkeys" checked, no command gets triggered for Ctrl+tap-caps-lock-hotkey either with or without actual double tapping. A plain tap-caps-lock-hotkey with no modifier works as expected, and as in the old version the actual caps lock key state is also affected. The only key setup difference I noticed on the pcf hotkey settings screen between my old and new was for resetting foreign keyboards (checked in new, not checked in old). Tried making them the same, but it made no difference. Don't worry about it. Maybe there were interactions with other PowerPro GUI settings that actually try to intercept changes to the caps lock key state (however I'm not using them, and the same settings were also available in the old version). Anybody know how to do it with Keytrap? Regards, Sheri
