Keyboard shortcuts with active caps lock

[mejo-]

What problem are you facing?

With caps lock active, keyboard shortcuts witch character keys like Ctrl-B don't work.

What’s the solution you would like to see?

Shortcuts with letters should work when caps lock is active.

This should be as easy as adding e.g. 'Mod-B': toggleMark(type), to the object returned by keys({ type }) in the relevant marks. I can prepare a pull request if you agree that this is desirable.

Unfortunately, due to the way prosemirror catches keyboard shortcuts, this also implies that Ctrl-Shift-b will toggle bold - which is an acceptable tradeoff in my eyes.

I also checked other online editors (notion.so, google docs, ...) and for most of them, keyboard shortcuts with active caps lock work.

What alternatives did you consider?

We got a bug report against the Nextcloud Text app that asks for this feature: nextcloud/text#2050

I wouldn't mind implementing the extra needed shortcuts there, but thought it might be interesting for Tiptap in general 😊

Anything to add? (optional)

Yeah, some shortcuts have already been modified in the default ProseMirror demos. I agree with this in general. However, there are also special cases, such as the history extension, where both Mod-z (undo) and Shift-Mod-z (redo) are already registered.
