and probably also num-lock and scroll-lock (although i will probably never need them).

Anyways... is there any way of reading the state of the caps lock key? if i do key.pressed( vk_capital ) it only returns true when the key is actually depressed. This doesn't help me so much because i have no idea if i have missed a caps lock press or not and as such have no idea if caps lock is actually turned on or not.

Priority: Very low
