when I press the key labelled “Ctrl”. i.e. it is swapped, and

when I press the key labelled “Caps Lock”, again swapped as expected
I just now connect from purity to quirky and indeed the “key labelled CapsLock” still toggles Upper Lower case and acts as a control key. I’ll send the logfile(s). I’m assuming they are the ones which named “quirky”.
Has anyone reported success with this swapping?
