Inject Remote lock keys instead of retiring keyboard input
Refusing Caps, Num and Scroll Lock retired all remote input, so a controller using Caps Lock as its screen-reader modifier lost keyboard control on the first press. Lock keys are now owned like other keys and released once at retirement without another toggle. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## Lock keys (2026-11-06)
|

|
||||
Caps Lock, Num Lock and Scroll Lock are now owned like other keys instead of
|
||||
being refused. Refusal retired all remote input, so a controller using Caps
|
||||
Lock as its NVDA or Cthulhu modifier lost keyboard control on the first press.
|
||||
A remote press and release toggles the lock here, as the same physical key
|
||||
would. Retirement releases a held lock key once and never re-toggles a lock;
|
||||
when Caps Lock is the controlled reader's Cthulhu modifier, the command owner
|
||||
keeps its local lock state. A private Xvfb test checks that each lock key is
|
||||
owned and released at retirement. Lock-state synchronization between computers
|
||||
is not attempted.
