Re: Problem with WinXP, XF86, Caps lock, xterm and cursor keys

Have you got Spy++ from any version of Visual Studio? It will show you keyboard messages and you can check if the field that we check is changing depending on whether Caps Lock is down or not.

I'm able to use X resources to have xterm treat Shift-cursor the same
as (application) cursor keys.  I also discovered that xev is showing
a Shift_L keydown before hitting the affected keys.  I haven't tried
turning caps lock off with xkb yet.

Is there a tool lower-level than xev which shows what XF86 is getting
from Windows?
