Details:
When booting from the newest ISO (2021.01.01) the CapsLock doesn't work. Only when pressed in combination with either shift, ctrl or alt, the expected behavior occurs. Switching keyboard-layout (with loadkeys or localectl) (us, de-latin1, etc.) doesn't change anything. I tried it on 2 different laptops - both show same behavior. Booting a centos from usb, the capslock works like intended. For me this is quite important, because the keybord layout I'm using is heavily dependent on capsLock as it is used as a modifier. |
This task depends upon
Are you booting using UEFI or legacy BIOS?
Is this still an issue with recent ISOs?
If yes, would you have time to debug this and figure out which commit between v48 and v49 of archiso [1] broke this for you? I don't have this type of setup and it is hard for me to test this.
Nothing super obvious in the commits between those two tags really jumps at me... sorry. However, we added accessibility support (this only affects one of the bootloader entries though) and shuffled some things around internally.
