capslock.vim: Software caps lock

capslock.vim

Press <C-G>c in insert mode to toggle a temporary software caps lock, or gC in normal mode to toggle a slightly more permanent one.

Installation

If you don't have a preferred installation method, I recommend installing pathogen.vim, and then simply copy and paste:

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone https://github.com/tpope/vim-capslock.git
vim -u NONE -c "helptags vim-capslock/doc" -c q

Once help tags have been generated, you can view the manual with :help capslock.

vim-capslock's Issues

Make use of CmdlineLeave autocmd

With the CmdlineLeave available on Vim 8.1 the command-line can be made a first-class citizen on capslock plugin.

Despite I made an habit of disabling it when I leave the command-line, it'd be good to have it disabled automatically, just as in insert mode.

I'm wondering if there is an appropriated way to give an indication (similar to the one in status-line for insert mode). I thought about inserting a tag on the end or beginning of the line, and using a mapping on Enter to remove it, but that would break some functions, such as autocomplete (c_CTRL-D).

Does not capitalize non-us characters

The swedish letters å, ä and ö does not get capitalized when using the plugin

Thought I should at least send in an issue about it, might do a PR about it

Link at vim.org

First of all, thank you very much for sharing this great plugin!
I have been using it for some years, and it works very well.

I have I small suggestion: include this repository on the description of capslock.vim at vim.org -- I found this repo by luck :-)

gC toggle not working on vim version 9.0

Hi tpope,
Thanks for making this convenient tool!
Recently I tested it on my vim version 9.0 and found the gC toggle is not working: when toggled the vim-airline status line(at bottom) show it is now 'CAPS', but the actual function is not. Do you have any idea of this? Thanks.

Doesn't work in Vim 7.3

When I start Vim I get the following error:

Not working on vim 7.4.541

When I first installed this plugin it worked as expected. After upgrade to Vim 7.4.541 it no longer works. I tried removing plugins that were installed after vim-capslock and it still does not work.

when I execute :imap I see

    i  <Plug>CapsLockDisable * <C-R>=<SNR>61_disable()<CR>
    i  <Plug>CapsLockEnable * <C-R>=<SNR>61_enable()<CR>
    i  <Plug>CapsLockToggle * <C-R>=<SNR>61_toggle()<CR>
    i  <C-G>c        <Plug>CapsLockToggle

What else can I do to debug my issue?

I'm running on Ubuntu 14.04.1 64 bit.

How can I show the caplock status on vim airline

How can I show the caplock status on vim airline

set statusline^=%{exists('*CapsLockStatusline')?CapsLockStatusline():''}
let g:airline#extensions#capslock#enabled = 1
set nocompatible

<C-L> mapping is triggered with <C-X><C-L>

When typing <C-X><C-L> in insert mode it is expected to trigger whole-line completions. But if this plugin is installed caps lock in insert mode is triggered.

Expected behaviour:
<C-X><C-L> - whole-line completion
<C-L> - caps lock

Command-line capslock

I've just updated to the latest version and noticed that the cmap doesn't works anymore:

cmap <C-L> <Plug>CapsLockToggle

Maybe I was abusing of an implementation detail, as the help file only mention insert mode. But I'm wondering if it is complicated to make it work on command line.
