Problem Description
Write here a detailed description of the problem/request.
Caps lock does not register at all in the remmina session. I am wishing (desperately!) to have my CapsLock -> Ctrl mapping work in remmina. I recall this worked until a recent upgrade to Fedora 28. I have done the CapsLock->Ctrl mapping with gnome-tweaks -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Additional Layout Options -> Caps Lock Behavior -> Caps Lock is also a Ctrl. I have checked the "Use client keyboard mapping" box, to no avail. What I find interesting is that when I type xev in the client session and hit the caps lock key, NOTHING HAPPENS AT ALL (other keys show activity as expected). So caps lock is completely ignored by remmina with my setup. Right-ctrl also does not show any xev activity, but I seem to recall this key is reserved for remmina.
