            Bug ID: 496195
           Summary: Capslock key does not switch behavior when using
                    colemak layout
    Classification: I don't know
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Arch Linux
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: getzze at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
CapsLock behavior is not decided by the current selected layout but by the
layout that is first in the list in System Settings.
It looks like these bugs from the descriptions:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171632 and
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360145

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add two layouts in System Settings: English (US) and English (US) (Colemak
variant).
2. Put the colemak or the non-colemak variant first of the list of layouts.
3. Hit CapsLock, switch layouts and hit again.

OBSERVED RESULT
1. if colemak variant is first of the list of layouts:
  - if colemak is selected: Backspace as expected.
  - if non-colemak is selected: Backspace -> UNEXPECTED
2. if non-colemak variant is first of the list of layouts:
  - if non-colemak is selected: CapsLock as expected.
  - if colemak is selected: CapsLock AND Backspace (delete previous character
and lock capital letters)
