However, this problem is confined to the on-screen input methods. I hooked up a Freedom bluetooth keyboard using kbdd, and it worked fine. I could input capital letters, symbols, etc.
It's not specifically a CAPS thing. Any character that would require the shift key on a normal keyboard shows up as the un-shifted version. Thus:
- Shift + "a" shows up on the other system as "a"
- CAPS + "a" -> "a"
- Shift + "1" -> "1"
- "@" -> "2" (Note: "@" does not require the shift key on the virtual keyboard. It still shows up as a "2". Similarly, with "!".)
The symbol palette on the virtual keyboard doesn't work. If the symbol in question is a Shifted version of something on a standard keyboard, it shows up as the unshifted version. (e.g., "%" becomes "5".) Otherwise, if it's a Greek letter or the like, nothing happens at all.
One can't input capital letters with the handwriting recognition either.
