Colemak standard now compatible with extend layer (CAPS) #32

Closed folbaeni closed 1 year ago

folbaeni commented 1 year ago

Before this, using English(Colemak) and extend layer with 5th level with Caps Lock was not possible.

Just commenting the caps attribution in default colemak solves the problem. This was probably due to the default linux colemak. Now caps works as expected, with or without extend layer.

Also in us symbols, calling colemak(cmk_standard) for removing redundance as they were the same.

I agree that including Caps behavior in the standard Colemak implementation was a bad idea. It's a minor weakness of the way the Colemak layout was first published, as a bundle of the layout itself and the Backspace-on-Caps trick.

However, the mission of my Big Bag implementations has not been to change existing implementations but to add my stuff. So while your edits make sense, they are outside the scope of this repository.
