Yeah, they're not supposed to work; see keyboard(6). I don't know the reason;
either someone just didn't like lock keys, or it's autistically doing
portability by
supporting only the intersection of features across machine types.

Caps lock is apparently a future possibility for 9front, as the PC and
SGI kernels
have #b/leds, and the USB driver seems to have something to do with LEDs, too,
though that function isn't called by anything.

Why? I would imagine 9boomers subscribership is a proper superset of 9front,
plus there's no cost to being subscribed.
