In Sculpt, I have noticed 2 major keyboard issues:
- The caps lock and shift keys are treated identically, which gives
unexpected results (symbols instead of numbers) when a user types numbers with caps lock enabled.
Up to now, this issue stayed undetected simply for the fact that we core developers do not use or even know the correct behavior of "Caps Lock". So triggered by your message, I browsed to Wikipedia and discovered that we're in good company being uncertain of the correct caps-lock behavior
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caps_lock
Nevertheless, it's possible to change the character-generator mapping for caps-lock rendering differently from the shift keys by applying the caps-lock ROM to a different modifier (e.g., mod4). Then, you have to provide the character mapping in the <map mod4="yes"> node of the en_us.chargen file.
- The delete, end, and home keys don't work properly in bash. They are
equivalent to typing the '~' character. Those keys work fine in vim, however.
This is a known issue originating from the bash port, which does not adapt to the terminal capabilities like, for example, ViM.
