Description

It is currently not possible to detect the state of keys such as caps-lock and scroll-lock. If you are implementing an input/password field in your game it is quite important to be able to warn the user if caps-lock is active.

Caps-lock is behaving very strange on my keyboard.

Key trigger for caps-lock will be triggered as pressed while caps-lock is active and released when it is pressed again. After this first press and release cycle caps-lock doesn't generate key triggers at all.
