I tried a search to see what I could dig up on this and couldn't find anything. Basically what I'm looking for is a simple built-in function that checks whether or not the user has Capslock active.

For my purposes, this type of function would allow me to set macros for players to type their names into our map-based name input HUD:



I know that the key+Shift check will already work for typing capital letters, but not having Capslock function for this as well would be weird.

I'm not sure what other uses a simple check like this might have (or how simple it would really be for you to implement), but there it is. Thanks!

For the time being, you can use javascript to detect this. This is what I've done for similar naming systems.

I requested this a long time ago, though I believe it was before the trackers.

This would be useful.

Could use one for NumLock too.

I'm currently working on a strictly screen object/image chat system, think of a game with only a single map element, and I was sad to realize caps-lock isn't detected among other things like mouse-wheel scrolling. (Seriously it detects mouse wheel clicking but not scrolling...)
