> If you have Capslock set to change your keyboard language, and your computer locks with Capslock enabled

How would your computer lock with capslock enabled? I.e. if capslock on that computer is set to change keyboard language?

Maybe they're saying the key rebound to serve as capslock doesn't work on the lock screen?

  • If yes, perhaps there are relatively easy ways to address this.

    I.e. configure the custom binding to also work on lock screen. Karabiner supports this I think.

    Alternatively, rebind caps lock with a custom binding and not os settings (i.e. don’t rebind keys in both a custom tool and the OS). Then, if custom bindings don’t work on lock screen, you get the default, working keyboard on lock screen.
