Bug Description

this bug has been around for ages and no one has fixed it until today, it has been ages since I last used Ubuntu and I have tried to use it now, on my new Laptop but I'm encountering the same issue so mostly it isn't a hardware issue, so I decided to look into it and realized that I'm not the only one encountering this issue

https://github.com/hexvalid/Linux-CapsLock-Delay-Fixer

I understand that there is an issue with xorgserver and the developers there has not accepted or commited the patches yet

hope this can be really look into cause to tell someone to use Shift does not make sense you are forcing someone to do it, I have been using caps lock my whole life
