Console stuck in caps lock mode?

Have same issue. Costed me two hours of my life. Happened after copy-pase ssh key. Solved only via rebooting droplet several times.

This is ridicuous - copying password does not work, as it comes with case toggled.

Gods, this console app is so bad and buggy…

Same problem here (while setting up SSH-- incredibly frustrating!)

My workaround had been to hold SHIFT for lowercase, which is fun while editing ssh_config in vim.

In case it saves someone some frustration, you can tell the console that caps lock is on with the command:

setleds -D +caps

…which will negate the confused console app. (Actual caps lock key may work, but mine is remapped to CTRL)

Oh, and yes, the problem began when I pasted my public key into the terrible console app. After failing for several minutes to configure sshd to allow password-based authentication, the ultimate solution was to put the public key in a pastebin and wget / curl it from the console.

If you print ‘>’ in this stuck-caps mode, keys are ok for me. Try typing ‘>reset’ and removing the >.

PS Figured this out accidentally pasting an html code while trying to emulate keypressess from js:) This console should not exist in such an evil form
