Caps lock is slow on linux

lemmy.kde.social Fix for the capslock slow response - KDE Social

This is an issue that I know for a fact that is not specific to plasma, but I came here to ask for help since I run Plasma and I’m hoping that there is something I can change on the DE to fix it.

  If you are on Plasma 6, it should be "System Settings" - Keyboard - Advanced, select "Configure keyboard options", and you'll find the "Caps Lock behavior" - maybe even two, but one of them have a lot of options as to what you want to do with your Caps Lock key.
The fix is to make it a Ctrl key.
