Model: Galaxy S8 Ultra

Physical Keyboard: EF-DX900 (Belgian)

Layout: Azerty

Input Language: French (Belgian) - Français (Belgique)

Issue: Caps Lock not working for numbers. 

After pressing Caps Lock, the light turns on so I know the key is activated but the upper row for numbers gives the following: &é"'(§è!çà - The only way to get numbers is to hold the Shift key while pressing numbers on the upper row. Caps Lock works for upper case letters but not for numbers.

 

Any ideas?

That is normal operation for all keyboards.  The assumption is that one uses caps lock to type uppercase letters and only she shift key enables the symbols above the numbers.

Thanks for your reply. 
That’s certainly not a normal behavior for a keyboard and is most likely a bug or an oversight on Samsung’s part. 
The vast majority of PC Azerty keyboards physical keyboards allow for this. Also, Samsung’s French Azerty physical keyboards allow for this, just not the Azerty Belgian. 
Can you imagine having to hold Shift to type numbers for a student or a business person who uses the tablet professionally? It’s impractical. Apple keyboards also allow for this function. Caps Lock generates uppercase AND numbers.
