Did you try the latest nightly build to see if the issue is better (or worse!) than your current version?
No, and I'll explain why below
Describe the bug
When caps lock is active, hold shift does not produce lower case characters as expected. Instead, upper case characters continue to be typed.
To Reproduce
Activate caps lock. Try to type lower case characters while holding shift.
Configuration
no config
Expected Behavior
I expect lower case characters when I hold shift while caps lock is active.
Logs
No response
Anything else?
I know this seems like a stupid edge case and you may ask why would a sane person even have caps lock on in the first place? I, like many vi users, have caps lock bound to escape, however, my script which handles the binding lagged for a second when I hit caps lock, causing caps lock to activate rather than sending the escape signal. Now I find myself in the awkward position of not being able to use my terminal to fix the issue. Luckily I can still type in other programs and paste into wezterm to resolve the issue...
is this still an issue in the latest release?
