Reassigning the capslock not working #18

First of all, thank you for this layout guide. I've used it for a while, and it's been a great help.

I'm confused about and having trouble with the capslock as ctrl reassignment. I use Pok3r with a mac, and the problem I'm having is that I'm unable to reassign the capslock to ctrl and vice versa without using the keyboard "modifier keys" settings in the osx settings.

I've followed the guide here that says:

CapsLock always as Ctrl:

  • CapsLock then: L_Ctrl then: PN to confirm
  • FN + CapsLock then: L_Ctrl then: PN to confirm

And it doesn't seem to work.

One thing that's been bothering me as well is understanding how to interpret these instructions given that the L_Ctrl has already been assigned to FN in the previous step of the OSX directions. I wonder if confusion there is causing the reassignment of Ctrl to CapsLock not to work for me.

Always use new key to understand the instruction. After first instruction, the L_Ctrl has already switched with CapsLock. You have to use the new key-binding to implement the second instruction.
