Research direction

The issue names no source files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the browser indicator and USB keyboard input paths, then determine how remote NumLock and CapsLock state can be synchronized; done means the host LEDs and remote state remain consistent while typing and when either side is toggled.

Description

enhancement

Feature Request.

NumLock / Capslock Indicator, it has to be possible some how, if I toggle NumLock / Capslock on the remote computer, the usb keyboard connected to the host toggles the LED indicator.

Maybe send a NumLock / Capslock toggle by clicking the indicator on the host and remote computer match.

Right now I would need to click out of tiny pilot, toggle NumLock / Capslock on the remote computer and then click back to tinypilot and toggle NumLock / Capslock again on remote computer to match.
