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. ```cpp CapsLock::Backspace !CapsLock::CapsLock ; Alt+CapsLock -> Enable/Disable Caps Lock ``` Change the first line from `~*CapsLock::` to `~*!CapsLock::` on script file. --- **Sources:** - [AHK Board - Another on screen caps lock indicator](https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/100990-another-on-screen-caps-lock-indicator/) --- **That’s All Folks!** **Happy Coding** 🖖 [](https://github.com/sponsors/deinsoftware)
