CapsLight
A tiny Windows utility for Caps Lock status.
Problem Statement
External keyboards often do not have a Caps Lock indicator light. This makes it difficult to know whether Caps Lock is on or off while using an external monitor. Users have to repeatedly check their laptop keyboard, interrupting their typing workflow..
Solution Overview
CapsLight displays a small floating indicator on every connected monitor to show the current Caps Lock state. The indicator turns green when Caps Lock is on and red when it is off. Users can drag the indicator anywhere on the screen, and its position is automatically saved for future sessions.
