Use of Caps as Esc shouldn't toggle Caps Lock in other apps

[treyharris]

To reproduce:

1. Run config
2. Select Keyboard
3. Toggle "Caps as Esc" on
4. Open a ssh or mosh session, and use the Caps Lock key to send Esc an odd number of times (1,3,5,..).
5. Switch to another app and attempt to type.

Expected result:

• Normal typing

Actual result:

• Typing with Caps Lock toggled down.

Either the Caps Lock used by Blink should be detached from the iOS Caps Lock somehow when "Caps as Esc" is enabled, or it should automatically toggle Caps Lock back off whenever it is used.

It was already discussed on #4

This is actually a limitation within iOS, if done right they should make the Disable Caps setting work also for the external keyboard. We could showcase the state somehow before leaving the app, but I think it would really be polluting the experience. If you do Caps as Esc, chances are you just want to disable caps completely.

Let me know what you think!

@carloscabanero Hi, can you expand on what you mean by "disable caps completely"? Is there a work-around for the Smart Keyboard?
