- Speaking of things which may be rectified eventually, what's the deal
- with the Caps-Lock key problem? Apparently, the keyboard controller
- on the powerbooks keeps state about the setting of that key (*duhhh*)
- so that it can't be remapped to be a control key (it would be a
- Control Lock key).
-
- Has this been fixed in the Duo? If not, are there plans to fix it in
- a way that can be retrofitted? For those of us who use our computers
- for things other than editing text, having a CapsLock key where the
- control key is supposed to be is a big, big problem. It's the only
- thing that I'm not sure I can live with about the Duo.
