Fix for the capslock slow response (lemmy.kde.social)

This is an issue that I know for a fact that is not specific to plasma, but I came here to ask for help since I run Plasma and I'm hoping that there is something I can change on the DE to fix it. Caps-lock is very slow and causes THis ISsue, and it is driving me crazy. I'm the person who can never learn how to use the shift to capitalize my letters and use caps-lock religiously. I have been using this fix on xorg, but it doesn't work on wayland, and I'm now back to square one. Any kind soul here knows how I can fix this issue? Thank you

I’m the person who can never learn how to use the shift to capitalize my letters and use caps-lock religiously.

That is bonkers to me. To me the Shift button is for single or a few characters, while Caps Lock is for full words and sentences. Did you grow up without a Shift key or where is that hatred for the Shift key coming from? ;)

It's not hatred, but I grew up in a 3rd world country where computer teaching didn't exist until I got to college, and even then, it was one 30 minutes class a week. I didn't even know many shortcuts and key combinations until I got to the US back in 2010. I'd never known that a shift key would do such things. All I knew was capslock is to make letters caps. I guess my brain was wired differently in this regard. I'm 42 now and I'm still catching up on a lot of things I've missed out on in my young days. I've just now gotten a job as a programmer literally 2 weeks ago (the irony of not knowing how to use the shift key, right?) I'm still learning about computers. I started using Linux back in 2018 and I'm still learning about it. Thanks to Linux, my learning process has been sped up a lot. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk, and I hope that that answers your question. Lol

Lol. I've learned how to touch type and I do it very well, but I can never get used to using shift. I just can't. I really tried so much.

People, can we focus on the technical issue instead of criticizing OP for their typing habits?

on a side note: Xah Lee notes that speed typist Sean Wrona finds it faster to do the sequence Caps, letter, Caps than the chord Shift+letter
