- Errors or warrnings from Solaar:
Describe the bug I've been trying to make the CAPS LOCK on my Logitech MX Mechanical Mini work as L-CONTROL.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to '...'
- Click on '....'
- Scroll down to '....'
- See error
Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem. Setting the rule to "Click" gets what I would expect. It outputs a Control_L "tap". So, I've been trying to use the "Depress" and "Release settings and having the Rules watch for the Caps Lock release before releasing the Control-L key. At first blush this seems to work because it allows me to send Ctrl-Key sequences like "Ctrl-T" to the browser to open new browser tabs. However, after I use CAPS LOCK as CONTROL once, the system never seems to see or receive the CONTROL_L release signal. The system behaves as if I am continuing to hold down the CONTROL_L key. Is there something I am doing wrong with the rules or does it not yet work with the modifier keys. I assume I am doing something wrong but I just can't suss it out.
