This should open a window called "Text Services and Input Languages" it should contain an "Advanced Key Settings" section where you can switch between the two modes of how to turn off Caps Lock.I find that a lot more comfortable as well and is usually one of the first things I change when setting up my profile after a fresh windows installation.

Sometimes people turned on the Caps Lock on a remote Windows system which is running VNC service. When I connect to the remote system through VNC Viewer, the Caps Lock status on the local and remote machines is inverted. Everything that I typed would be in CAPITAL letter despite my local machine has not turned on the Caps Lock. I have to toggle Caps Lock on local machine in order to get the correct letter in remote system. Even though that works but it is an annoyance especially when working on system that is caps sensitive.

You will need to run this script whenever emacs is open, but thankfully Autohotkey is pretty low profile application (usually takes about a few hundreds Kb in memory only). You can for example execute this script in your .emacs so that your control key and capslock key are swapped whenever emacs is opened.

I believe it doesn't work because Windows (or X) doesn't pass an actual event for [capslock] or [control] - it's a modifier key, like [shift]. Pressing a modifier key doesn't cause the application to get a keystroke, but if you press a modifier and a second (non-modifier) key, then you get the keystroke.

I just updated my workspace app on MacOS to 2304 and I have an issue whenever I left-click on my mouse. It behaves as if I turned on CAPS lock on my keyboard! If I use Shift+Left Click, I don't have this issue. This started happening after the update. How do I disable this behavior?

I mainly made this because I wanted to have Colemak on one of the computers in home, which was also used by the rest of my family. Therefore remapping caps lock through the registry would be a bit evil, since everyone using the computer would experience the change. Also, I didn't use autohotkey or portable keyboard layout , since I find it more reliable to use a native layout for the base characters and autohotkey for the extended layer. It has happened to me that autohotkey bugs out while I am in the middle of a StarCraft battle, jamming my entire keyboard.

Our problem after all is that when we go somewhere other than our nice cozy Linux maniches (which lucky us have colemak preinstalled), which is in most cases a Windows device, we don't have Colemak. Even though it is really easy to install the layout, in most cases even if you are somehow aloud (admin rights?) it's inappropriate to start installing stuff on it, since the computer is not your own. You can run a PKL, but that takes time to download, and this gets annoying to do if you switch between computers regularly.
It would be much simpler if you could right click the language bar, choose settings and be done in a few seconds, even on computers that don't have internet connection.
I am a mechanical keyboard guy myself so I know some stuff ;) Type matrix is cool and it is not limited by software layouts since everything is hardware based but I ain't gonna carry it around everywhere I go. WASD provide colemak of course, as well as pretty much anything else you could want :D. Does that mean that Microsoft should add every single layout WASD can make? I think it is quite the opposite. When Microsoft adds Colemak, then people will start producing boards that have Colemak key caps. Microsoft has added so many different regional variations of qwerty it's unbelievable they haven't add Colemak yet, which they could easily integrate.

As for typing on Qwerty, of course we can if the need be, but how is that a solution to our ergonomic goals here? Moreover, I highly believe that if Microsoft integrates Colemak into windows (which they can do with a simple update) the number of people who are willing to take on Colemak will greatly increase.

The only thing i'm missing is that backspace is still backspace. Can you create another installer where capslock would be turned into capslock?
That would be great since I sometimes use the capslock :P

With all the keyboards I've worked with, this combination works the best for me because it's close to current muscle memory. Also, if you use Autohotkey to remap Capslock, Autohotkey recognizes Capslock as Capslock, and the first line becomes

Spent some time browsing the forums and am impressed with the thoroughness you've covered these layouts. Accidental hitting was what I was thinking as well, so you can accidentally-on-purpose hit it with one finger like you can now. As a person familar with the en-US layout, higher layout levels and extra characters/ligatures are uncommon. I probably won't use Capslock to add on additional layout levels.

Unfortunately it is not possible to create a layout with MSKLC which binds capslock to to a key+modifier, meaning that it has to be on the first layer of the keyboard. The only place where you could therefor put capslock without effectively removing a key is the old backspace, something that is not encouraged for various reason. If you still want to do this you can do so easily as described in the original topic here.

The program used to make these layout is provided by microsoft: -gb/goglobal/bb964665.aspx (MSKLC) for short. While rebinding Capslock -> Backspace is not possible trough the interface of the program, it can be done as described by screaminglemon's thread I mentioned in OP. You can make any layout you desire this way.

It's a default Windows' setting. In windows you can have multiple 'languages' each with its own layouts set.
To change it: Right mouse click on language bar -> Properties or go to Control Center -> Regional and Language Settings (or whatever they are called in English or your language) -> Keyboards and Languages.
Then go to Advanced Key Settings (or again whatever it's called, last tab). Switching "Between languages" by default has LAlt+Shift - switching layouts in one language is hidden in that option, so change it.
Only options you can choose (for both changing language and changing layouts) are: non-defined, ctrl+shift, Lalt+shift, ` - not much space for customization, probably disabling switching languages and assigning LAlt+shift to switching layouts would be the best for you. (Or, as DreymaR said, disable them and set shortcuts to switch the layouts directly.)

When I move to the virtual machine which is hosting windows 10, no matter what caps state the virtual machine is in, my caps always goes on when I return to the host. So no caps in host to virtual machine no caps = CAPS when returning to host, no caps on host to caps on virtual machine = CAPS on host. I continually move from virtual machine to host which means that I constantly have to turn CAPS off. Can anyone tell me how I can fix this?

It appears that VMWare is trying to keep track of the caps lock state of the host OS so it can put it back when you switch away from the VM, and it's failing. I also can't get the VM to obey the keyboard caps lock, I have to send it from the menu; this may or may not be related. (VMWare reading the same variable it's writing for caps lock functionality?)

If you enable caps lock in the host OS, switch to the VM, and then switch back to the host, caps lock turns off while in the VM and caps lock will come back on when switching to the host OS. If you then turn caps lock off in the host OS and switch back to the VM, everything seems OK until you go back to the host OS... caps lock will come back on.

And lastly, there is a config option that should turn this caps lock behavior off. If you want to try, add mks.keyboard.setHostLEDs=FALSE to your /.vmware/config or /Library/Preferences/VMware\ Fusion/config file. Try shutting down Fusion and all running VMs, add that config option, then restart Fusion and whatever VMs you were using and you shouldn't see the caps lock switching like this on you. That should let you guys use Fusion 10 again without this annoying behavior.

On the "VM still ignores the caps lock on the keyboard" bit... in your previous post, I think you disabled it or something in your section "WORKAROUND (sort of) until VMWare fixes the issue"? Did you still have the caps lock disabled or turned off in the VM or something?

Also, I'm not sure if you saw the last comment in my post above, but you can restore the previous (Fusion behavior with regards to caps lock by setting mks.keyboard.setHostLEDs=FALSE in your /.vmware/config file.
