Invert caps lock key

[cl4nk]

Is there a way that I could make it so that when caps lock is enabled on my keyboard it would actually be disabled on my computer and vise versa?

Does anyone know??

Does that in effect mean that you want to invert the light signal: light on when CapsLock off, light off when CapsLock on?

Here are two approaches:

Code: Select all

1:: ;toggle capslock on/off (restore capslock light to normal)
SetStoreCapslockMode, Off
SendInput, {CapsLock}
SetStoreCapslockMode, On
return

2:: ;set capslock light on
KeyboardLED(4, "on")
KeyboardLED(4, "on", 2)
return

3:: ;set capslock light off
KeyboardLED(4, "off")
KeyboardLED(4, "off", 2)
return

4:: ;toggle capslock on/off (capslock is inverted)
vState := GetKeyState("CapsLock", "T") ? "on" : "off"
SetStoreCapslockMode, Off
SendInput, {CapsLock}
SetStoreCapslockMode, On
Sleep, 100
KeyboardLED(4, vState)
KeyboardLED(4, vState, 2)
return

Note: this script would interfere with hotstrings:

	vCase := GetKeyState("CapsLock", "T") ? "U" : "L"
else
	vCase := GetKeyState("CapsLock", "T") ? "L" : "U"
SendInput, % Format("{:" vCase "}", vText)
return

I would welcome any feedback or alternative ideas. Thanks.
