Michael Jumper commented on GUACAMOLE-51:
-----------------------------------------

While testing tracking of lock state, it's worth noting that ChromeOS has a bug where Caps lock is mapped to F16. From https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=404786:

{quote}
On ChromeOS, CapsLock arrives as F16 (crbug.com/146204), and chromeos::EventRewriter converts F16 to CapsLock (VKEY_CAPITAL), and a fake X11 event is generated to match, mapping VKEY -> X KeySym -> X keycode. The last step fails, because X has no keycode that maps to XK_Caps_Lock (again, crbug.com/146204).
{quote}

Annoying, but if anyone ever wonders why Caps is not sent properly on ChromeOS, that's why. It will still ultimately work, even with RDP, as the key translation system will automatically press Shift when it receives capital letter keypresses while Shift is known to be released. As F16 is not currently mapped for RDP, the Caps key event is just dropped.

> *This issue is the coninuation of [GUAC-1460|https://glyptodon.org/jira/browse/GUAC-1460], an issue in the JIRA instance used by the Guacamole project prior to its acceptance into the Apache Incubator.*

> Explicit support for the keys of the number pad was added back in 0.9.8 via [GUAC-1314|https://glyptodon.org/jira/browse/GUAC-1314], allowing Guacamole to handle those keys distinctly, but the keyboard mappings used by RDP, SSH, and telnet were not brought up-to-date. This means that the keys no longer have their expected effect if the browser actually supports distinguishing the number pad from the rest of the keyboard.
> VNC is unaffected, as no mapping is necessary.
