caps [-on | -off]
"CAPS MODE"
DESCRIPTION:
'caps' is used to switch the window between mixed case mode mode
(the default) and caps only mode. 'caps -on' explicitly places the
window in caps only mode. 'caps -off' explicitly places it in
mixed case. 'caps' with no option toggles between mixed case and
caps only modes. Ce always starts out in mixed case mode.
In caps only mode, key presses which have a default action of 'es'
of a character are checked to see if they are lower case letters
and are converted to upper case as necessary. Keys which have an
explicit key definition are not changed. To make this clear
requires a brief explanation of key press handling. When a key is
pressed, Ce retrieves the X key symbol and checks to see if there
is a key definition associated with that symbol. If so, the
commands in that key definition are executed. Caps only mode has
no effect on that process. If there is no key definition
associated with the symbol, a check is made to see if the system
(X server) associates a character with the symbol. For example,
the character 'a' is associated with the 'a' key. In this case, Ce
generates an 'es' (enter string) command with the appropriate
character as the parameter. It is in this last case that the caps
only mode has an effect. The associated character is capitalized
before being placed in the 'es' command.
-on put the window in caps only mode
-off put the window in mixed case mode
