IIRC this code was a counter-measure, that is Windows was toggling the
Capslock off when shift was pressed and not toggling it off on a second
press on Capslock (until the next shift).  In order to mimic the Linux
behaviour, you therefore needed to simulate a Capslock keypress on these
events.

Are you saying that Windows now mimics the Linux behaviour by default?


i am unsure of what this behaviour is supposed to do as i am not a linux user, however this 'bug' only seems to have appeared recently, so i presume it has changed in WinXP or Win2kSP3+... Eric, do you remember if your wrote the code for Win98 or Win2k ?
