Thanks for pointing out the solution!
I've got it working, and have attached the new source to #2053.
The major difference is that i'm using the Ctrl key to enable the CapsLock
key. My main problem has been that I hit CapsLock as well when I'm *aiming*
for Shift, so using that as the enabler wouldn't be much use to me!
Ctrl is one key further away, so it should be safe.
I expect to be a little less frustrated now! (:-))
