Cannot enter capital C in terminal commandWorkaround use cap lock)

What can cause a loss of entry capability of capital C in a command line but respond to same in openoffice?

All other keybd entries OK in both USB keybd and PS2 keybd in command line.

That sounds interesting.  Maybe you have shift+C set as a hotkey combination for some other function.  Does typing a normal c with capslock on make a difference?  Also, can you copy text containing a capital C into the terminal?  It would help if you told us what window manager and terminal emulator you were trying to use.

KDE

Typing the C with caps lock "on" works in terminal.
