This issue also occurs with Portal 1 and Half-Life 2.
Just to clarify what @everett1992 said, with caps lock and escape swapped some games will "see" escape when you press caps lock(the right behavior), others "see" escape only if you press escape(which also toggles caps lock), but in TF2, Portal 1, and HL2 nothing happens when either key is pressed.
note: If you run setxkbmap -option caps:escape
then caps lock should act as another escape key and escape will behave normally
@davidw-valve You're assigned to this. What's your progress on it?
absolute longshot here, but has anyone managed to resolve this issue?
I've remapped the
caps lock
key toescape
using xmodmap and these settings:While in TF2 pressing the
caps lock
key does nothing, but it should toggle the menu, or escape from class selection, etc.The
escape
key does toggle caps lock as it should.Both keys work as they should in SpaceChem and Kerbal Space Program, I have not tried other source games to see if the problem exists in CS:S or other games.
I have the same problem in the xfce4 window manager.
To Reproduce
