On KDE you will find in the menu "Configure Desktop" Go there and look for "Input Devices". Klick it and choose "Keyboard". Go to advanced and activate "Configure keyboard options". Go down to "Cap Lock key behavior" and make your choice from there. Would suggest Caps Lock is Disabled Aplly the change and your problem is gone.
Interesting. I see there are several other options for Caps Lock behaviour, but is it also possible to remap it for running other KDE commands? More specifically, is it possible to set Caps Lock to launch the krunner dialogue?
Here is the method (for KDE3. I love and use KDE3) using scripts : 1/ create a keyboard shorcut : create a krunner.khotkeys file (as root) in /opt/kde3/share/apps/khotkeys The content of the file is at the end of this email 2/ Here is the magical command to lauch the krunner (or minicli in kde3) : create a file /usr/bin/krunner, since I didn't managed to create a khotkeys shortcut with arguments :( Don't forget to make it executable. #! /bin/sh dcop kdesktop KDesktopIface popupExecuteCommand 3/ run (as NON root !) : /opt/kde3/lib/kconf_update_bin/khotkeys_update --id krunner It tells KDE3 to update shortcuts. /opt/kde3/share/apps/khotkeys/krunner.khotkeys file : [Data] DataCount=1 [Data_1] DataCount=1 Enabled=true Name=Preset Actions SystemGroup=0 Type=ACTION_DATA_GROUP AllowMerge=true [Data_1Conditions] Comment= ConditionsCount=0 [Data_1_1] Comment=Launches krunner by Dsant Enabled=true Name=PrintScreen Type=COMMAND_URL_SHORTCUT_ACTION_DATA [Data_1_1Actions] ActionsCount=1 [Data_1_1Actions0] CommandURL=/usr/bin/krunner Type=COMMAND_URL [Data_1_1Conditions] Comment= ConditionsCount=0 [Data_1_1Triggers] Comment=Simple_action TriggersCount=1 [Data_1_1Triggers0] Key=Alt+Ctrl+D Type=SHORTCUT [Main] Version=2 ImportId=krunner Now if you press Ctrl+Alt+D, you should see the krunner window.
