            Bug ID: 477653
           Summary: Add "Caps Lock (while pressed)" option to switch
                    keyboard layouts
    Classification: I don't know
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Arch Linux
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

          Reporter: alphabitserial at pm.me
  Target Milestone: ---

Under System Settings → Keyboard → Advanced there's currently an option "Caps
Lock (while pressed); Alt+Caps Lock for the original Caps Lock action." I would
love if there were an option that functions just like this without the Alt+Caps
Lock bind. Basically, just a "Caps Lock (while pressed)" option with no extra
behavior from the Alt key.

I use a non-Qwerty keyboard layout but a number of applications that support
Vim motions. I've configured my system so that I'm always in my preferred
layout, but while holding Caps Lock, it temporarily switches to Qwerty so I can
easily use the home row for movement without rebinding my editor, terminal,
etc.  In some applications, for example, Zellij (a terminal multiplexer),
includes default keybinds Alt+[hjkl] to navigate between panes. However, I
can't make use of it because Alt+Caps Lock will toggle capitalization instead.
