mlterm-fb caps lock issue

[cosminadrianpopescu]

When remapping caps lock to control with a script like this:

(dumpkeys | grep keymaps; echo "keycode 58 = Control") | loadkeys

when using mlterm-fb in tty will still do caps lock instead of control. Under X, running just mltert will correctly insert a ctrl and not a caps. Also the tty in which I'm starting the mlterm-fb is going to correctly interpret a ctrl instead of a caps

Looks like the code in question is here https://github.com/arakiken/mlterm/blob/master/uitoolkit/fb/ui_display_linux.c#L764 and it only checks the keycode for the purpose of setting modifiers, not how it is translated in kcode_to_ksym https://github.com/arakiken/mlterm/blob/master/uitoolkit/fb/ui_display_linux.c#L133

There is a patch but I did not get to testing it, YMMV

I'll test the patch and let you know. Thank you.

I guess it does not work for me because I have more than two input devices that look like a keyboard, and the one I am typing on appears late in the list, duh.
