Hi Mark,

does this problem also occur with normal windows programs?

I have also made the caps lock key to a ctrl key and I cannot press
ctrl+shift+s when using the "caps lock" key as ctrl key. So it seems for
me that on some keyboards some key combinations of more than two keys at
the same time are not possible (perhaps due to technical implementation
details?)

Best regards,
Oliver
