fix: &caps_word randomly deactivates

[jjangga0214]

Hi!

I observed &caps_word randomly deactivates.
(Apology for not giving a well-defined, reproducible example, as it seems random.)
It suddenly deactivates from an arbitrary point in the middle of the word.
For instance, it is written like ZMKFIRmware.

Once it deactivates, if I try again, only the word's first letter is capitalized for a while (e.g. for about 5 to 10 minutes).
For instance, it is written like Zmkfirmware.

Is it only me experiencing this?

Thanks :)

I haven't ever seen this, but one guess is it might be related to implicit modifier handling of the OS (c.f. #759), e.g. if you use a Gnome desktop environment.

@caksoylar Thanks for the reference :)
Well, my environment is macOS Ventura 13.2.1. I don't use Remote Desktop or VM, either. 🧐

@caksoylar I found the reasons. It was not a bug. Sincere apology for the mistake.

One of them is that I set my keyboard layout as qwerty from zmk point of view(keyboard level), but remapped it to Colemak from the OS level. Thus while typing, I thought I am writing alphabet 'O', but it was actually semicolon from zmk side. So everytime I press 'O', &caps_word deactivated, which was the right behavior. I solved this problem by inputting colon(shift+semicolon) over semicolon while &caps_word like this way(#1706 (comment)).

The other reason was related to another personal testing environment, which is not zmk's fault.

Sorry and thanks again.
