try changing your ~/.config/kxkbrc:

[Layout]
# ... 
Options=caps:ctrl_modifier
# ...

that's the file KDE's keyboard settings change.

Also:

  • caps:ctrl_modifier means "Make Caps Lock act as an additional Ctrl modifier, but keep identifying as Caps Lock"
  • ctrl:nocaps means Ctrl position -> "Caps Lock as Ctrl"
  • ctrl:swapcaps means Ctrl position -> "Swap Ctrl and Caps Lock"

I'm using 6.0.5 and I still see all three options in systemsettings.

I've always used ctrl:nocaps, what's the advantage of using caps:ctrl_modifier?

iirc one program (a game, I think) didn't work properly when I had nocaps: the keyboard settings would allow the keybind, but it didn't work in-game

The thing is that I don't need the option "Make Caps Lock act as an additional Ctrl modifier, but keep identifying as Caps Lock"

The one I need is gone for some reason. I need the "make caps additional Ctrl"

But that does make caps work as ctrl. What's the behavior you want?

I want it to act as an additional Ctrl so I can fix the slow response of caps lock to prevent THis behavior
