Thank you very much for explaining, and for letting me know that this will be fixed soon!
I’m looking forward to this being corrected, because this way, if my Mac reboots, I can be far away from that computer and still start using NoMachine to connect to it. As it is, I have to manually enable NoMachine’s ability to listen for connections every time the Mac restarts, and this prohibits me from connecting remotely until I perform that manual step.
Correction: when I use
/usr/bin/xmodmap -e ‘keycode 66=Shift_L’on the Raspberry PI, my Caps Lock mapping indeed functions properly when I’m connecting to that host via NoMachine. I had incorrectly tested this in the past.However, I still have the problem with the Caps Lock key mapping being properly recognized on the Mac, as I reported above.
Thank you for your reply.
By “directly connected”, I mean “when using the keyboard on those machines, and without NoMachine being in use”.
The Raspberry PI machine has the same version of NoMachine as my Linux box: 6.17.1-4
The Mac is running version 7.9.2
I disable Caps Lock on both the Linux box and the Raspberry PI as follows: /usr/bin/xmodmap -e ‘keycode 66=Shift_L’ . This just maps it to the normal Left-Shift key. That works fine on both of those machines when I am using the keyboard. But the mapping gets ignored when I’m connected via NoMachine, and it forces the full Caps-Lock functionality on the Raspberry PI.
On the Mac, I use the Karbiner-Elements.app utility to map CapsLock to Left-Shift. Again, this works fine when I’m using the Mac’s keyboard, but it gets ignored when I’m connected via NoMachine, and it forces the full Caps-Lock functionality on the Mac.
I don’t have this problem when using [removed] to connect to the Mac and to the Raspberry PI from my Linux box. My remapping of CapsLock works fine when connecting in that way to each machine. This Caps-Lock problem seems to be related to NoMachine itself.
Also, I have just now upgraded my Linux box and my Raspberry PI both to use NoMachine 7.9.2-1 . This Caps-Lock problem remains the same.
