[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1947677] Re: Colemak keyboard layout's left-hand backspace is also acting as Caps Lock

[Tialae]

I have since found that executing in Terminal, the command
  𝚡𝚖𝚘𝚍𝚖𝚊𝚙 -𝚎 "𝚌𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚛 𝙻𝚘𝚌𝚔"  
is a temporary workaround to fix this behaviour; however, I would definitely 
think this issue should be fixed so it works out-of-the-box for new users.
It's a very problematic behaviour for one's primary backspace to be also 
toggling caps lock, affecting daily typing.

Title:
  Colemak keyboard layout's left-hand backspace is also acting as Caps
  Lock

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have installed Ubuntu with the default English (US) Qwerty keyboard
  layout and I added the English (Australia) Colemak keyboard layout
  through the Settings app (as per the screenshot attached). This is for
  the in-built laptop keyboard on the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Touch.

  The bug is that the CapsLock key, which is meant to be remapped to a
  Backspace key on the Colemak keyboard layout, acts as both the
  CapsLock AND the Backspace, when the Colemak keyboard layout is
  active. This means that backspacing a single time deletes a single
  character AND also toggles Caps Lock.

  The expected behaviour is that the key acts only as Backspace when the
  Colemak keyboard layout is active.

  The output of  𝚡𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚙 -𝚛𝚘𝚘𝚝 | 𝚐𝚛𝚎𝚙 𝚇𝙺𝙱  is

   _𝚇𝙺𝙱_𝚁𝚄𝙻𝙴𝚂_𝙽𝙰𝙼𝙴𝚂(𝚂𝚃𝚁𝙸𝙽𝙶) = "𝚎𝚟𝚍𝚎𝚟", "𝚙𝚌𝟷𝟶𝟻", "𝚞𝚜,𝚞𝚜,𝚞𝚜", ",𝚌𝚘𝚕𝚎𝚖𝚊𝚔,",
  ""

  I hope a fix can be found soon :)
