Hello, so I’m new to this OS and I have this problem where the system does not react fast enough to my typing.
Like, when I type for example “Hello” I get “HEllo” because I deactivate the caps lock key milliseconds before I type the “e” so I get “HEllo” instead of “Hello”, I also use plasma, and I do not know what to do to fix it, I tried messing with the Key Repeat, I tried using X11 instead of Wayland, nothing worked, I type very fast and this problem is very annoying, I know that this is definitely an OS problem because I am dual booting WIndows and I do not have this problem there
Hello did that as fast as I could 3X and did not mess it up. And usually I can’t do anything right or the same in 3 attempts.

SK key does not come up fast enough to catch the lower case letter you typed..
sticky key? I/O error i.e. hardware? how to debug? kde which I don’t have probably has 30,000 keystroke settings. ya gotta find them. does double tapping caps lock key for capital letters change anything?
you got a good mystery here and I know you don’t want it
It’s also a good idea, unless you TYPE A LOT OF CAPITALS WITH NUMBERS using both shift keys to enable CAPS Lock, then relegate the CapsLock to a more useful function (like Compose).
Then just learn to type with Left Shift for H, maybe right shift for Q… then you can type Hello, Hello, Hello… no problems. Practice on typing websites (they’re brilliant now, I used Monkey Type to adjust from my old Logitech to my Ajazz keyboard)… not sure about how ‘blazingly’ fast you are typing at, but I’m comfortable at 90 words per minute (and as you can see here, the text seems to be coming out fine - no errors in this post just yet).
Key Repeat has nothing to do with it, you shouldn’t use Caps Lock to type ‘Hello’. Not even once.d
Lolz there’s a vital bit of information missing here. If OP is typing in excess of 250 words per minute, then it’s possible they’re genuinely having a problem
But tell me, how did you type ‘Hello Hello Hello’ including the issue with CapsLock?

Or:
⇧Shifthello
Incidentally, as we’re on the subject of typing - I’ve currently got a fairly nice set of PBT Cherry caps, such a massive improvement over my older keyboards (and I never really got used to any laptop style boards) but I’m kinda curious if anyone switches between those and XDA or MOA profile keycaps (the rounder, more marsh-mallow or pillowy shaped keys) and whether they’re easy to adjust to.
wpm rate a possibility but I like your recs above that part to the OP. First rate spittballing.
press once for capital H then again for the rest of the word (ello). double-tapping a single key twice is clunky but I did the Hello 3X with Shift Key as to replicate OP problem.
My rec (low-grade spitballing) was about eliminating or factoring in troubleshooting variables i.e. if capslock also doubled the capital letters then I would smell hardware; I/O.
Telling me to use the shift key instead of the caps one to solve my problem doesn’t really solve it, it kinda goes like that one doctor joke with “-Hey, doctor, it hurts when I do this. -Then don’t do it”. I am aware that I can use the shift key, however, I do not want to do that, I want to type in the way I always did.
I really tried to find a fix for myself, however, I was not lucky enough to find one, hence why I made the post in the first place, if I didn’t want to find an actual solution I would’ve started using the shift key by now
Read through this arch wiki and go to paragraph 3.8. If the changes are made I think you also need to go to system settings>keyboard click on keybindings (tick the box) and search for xkb and tick the box. Not sure the last part is needed , so that is just incase it is.
You are so very right! I didn’t know there was a setting for the xkb file, I tried a tutorial similar on the wiki but since nobody mentioned about this setting it did not work, now it does!
