For my console keyboad map in Linux I want to use a modified version of this layout. I am still clinging on to the CapsLock key, so I commented out line 67 (and changed a few other things). But when I load such map, the caps lock key does not behave the same way as in the default us layout (/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.map.gz).
The standard US layout defines the behavior of caps lock key like this:
keycode 58 = Caps_LockOn the US keyboard, when you have caps lock enabled, it produces ALL CAPS, except when you additionally press Shift. Keys pressed with Shift in Caps_Lock mode produce lowercase letters. Technically, Caps_Lock inverts the Shift key's function (for the common letters). This, however, does not happen in my custom mod-dh-iso-us layout. When I press a letter with Shift in caps lock mode, it still produces uppercase, rather than lowercase.
How can I make Caps_Lock behave the "inverting Shift" way, like in the US layout?
