If you don't have light indicators on your keyboard or device. AutoHotKey can rescue us with a simple script to know the state of modifier keys.
Create a file called key-indicator.ahk
with this script:
~*CapsLock::
~*NumLock::
~*ScrollLock::
~*Insert::
Sleep, 10 ; drastically improves reliability on slower systems
msg := ""
msg := msg "Caps: " (GetKeyState("CapsLock", "T") ? "ON" : "OFF") "`n"
msg := msg "Num: " (GetKeyState("NumLock", "T") ? "ON" : "OFF") "`n"
msg := msg "Scroll: " (GetKeyState("ScrollLock", "T") ? "ON" : "OFF") "`n"
msg := msg "Insert: " (GetKeyState("Insert", "T") ? "ON" : "OFF")
ToolTip, %msg%
Sleep, 750 ; SPECIFY DISPLAY TIME (ms)
ToolTip ; remove
return
Save the file and open it with AutoHotkey. You will get a screen notification status near your mouse pointer.
If you are using the CapsLock
as Backspace
and CapsLock
enabled/disable with Alt
key.
CapsLock::Backspace
!CapsLock::CapsLock ; Alt+CapsLock -> Enable/Disable Caps Lock
Change the first line from ~*CapsLock::
to ~*!CapsLock::
on script file.
