I set the xkb option shift:both_capslock (because I also use caps:escape) but this seems to have disabled the normal behavior of the shift key. How can I get that normal behavior back while still allowing the double press.



I used to do this in gnome, but I am trying out sway.

  • I'm having the same issue, and an examination of xev suggests pressing shift produces a Shift_L key press event, and a Caps_Lock key release event (!). Does this seem to be the same behavior you've encountered?

  • @gandalf3 Due to this and some other issues I switched back to gnome so I cannot test. Thanks for the xev output though!

            How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
