        Yes, this is easily my greatest frustration with the TiPB.  If
you ever find a hardware solution I'd appreciate it if you could share
it.

        For now, I've disabled the extra key events that the kernel
generates for the CapsLock key and am trying to train myself to
press and release once each time before typing a control character
sequence, but it clearly sucks.
