Description k2squared 2021-07-27 04:19:05 UTC

On Wayland, the Track Mouse desktop effect animation doesn't work when caps lock is on.

1) Enable Track Mouse in desktop effects.
2) Turn on caps lock.
3) Press the default key combo to activate the Track Mouse animation: ctrl+meta. Nothing happens.
4) Turn off caps lock and press ctrl+meta again. The animation displays as expected.

This bug was reported against an outdated version of KWin. We have made many changes since the. 
If the issue persists in newer versions can you reopen the bug report updating the version number.

Comment 4 Zamundaaa 2023-09-19 12:58:44 UTC

The modifiers this effect is querying contain "shift" when capslock is on, which causes this problem.

As this sort of problem has come up a fair few times so far, maybe we should separate modifiers into "pressed" and "locked", like Wayland already does.

I just noticed that it works now; I fixed it with https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/commit/8c543dbe7c8a00f47f3022b7cad4d97b1436b659
