Auto-capitalization mode, caps lock, shift lock?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Currently, the full keyboard only implements a "shift lock" mode where all keys 
get shifted. It would be nice to support "caps lock" instead where only 
alphabetic characters are affected, especially for the optional 
auto-capitalization at the beginning of sentences.

This would also fix the issue for Arabic and Hebrew where auto-capitalization 
isn't useful.

The problem with this is that the shift state handling is incredibly convoluted 
in the code, and I'm a bit wary to make changes in this area. I'll see what I 
can do, but it may take a while.

Good news, the keyboard now supports a caps/caps lock mode distinct from 
ShiftLock as of v1.28rc15. Please try that version (or later) from 
http://code.google.com/p/hackerskeyboard/downloads/list and let me know if that 
works for you.

In the new version, AutoCaps will keep digits on the main keyboard instead of 
showing !@#$% etc.

Note that AutoCaps was already automatically disabled for Arabic/Hebrew/Thai in 
earlier versions.

[Bulk bug update] The new Market release 1.29 includes the changes from the 
v1.28 prerelease series, and these "FixInTest" issues should now be fixed. If 
not, please reopen the bug with additional information. If the original bug 
covered multiple separate issues that aren't all addressed, please open new 
bug(s) for the leftover ones.

Bulk update - changing "Fixed" to "Verified" for old bugs.

(Background: I'm changing the "Fixed" status to be considered open, the next 
steps in the lifecycle will be the closed states "FixInTest" and "Verified". 
This lets me mark issues as "Fixed" in commit messages without hiding them from 
the issue tracker.)
