Description

In this thread there is the needed source to add this feature to HID.cpp and keyboard.cpp, but I don't know how to implement it:

Research direction

Read the linked Arduino forum thread first to understand the proposed CAPSLOCK/NUMLOCK LED-status source. Then inspect HID.cpp and keyboard.cpp, the files named in the issue, and determine how the feature should integrate for Leonardo and ProMicro boards. Done means those boards report or control the CAPSLOCK and NUMLOCK LED status as described in the thread.
