Cap/Num/Scroll Lock Onscreen Indicator

[kamleshrao]

📝 Provide CAPS/NUM/SCROLL Onscreen Indicator.

Some computers/laptops don't have the Keyboard LED indicators for CAPS/NUM/SCROLL locks. In such cases, PowerToys can show an onscreen indicator. This can be a great feature for Keyboard Users

Enough for you?

I guess, an icon could be placed in the systray, next to the keyboard layout selector (Language Bar).
Hovering it could display a tooltip with information about the state of Caps Lock / Num Lock ...

I could do with extending this idea to include when other modifier keys are down (Ctrl, Shift, Alt).
There is a program called TrayStatus that does this.
I haven't tried it however, as I want it for work and would need to pay for it.

is there a way I can disable this?

Hi. This is not a duplicate. #981 is about key press. This is about key status. Please reopen this feature request.
