hyprctl devices: Getting caps lock and num lock status #7271

Open KanishakVaidya opened 3 months ago

Description

To get the information about keyboard devices we can do something like

hyprctl devices -j

getting the following information about every keyboard device:

...
{
  "address": "0x<the address>",
  "name": "<the name>",
  "rules": "",
  "model": "",
  "layout": "us",
  "variant": "",
  "options": "",
  "active_keymap": "English (US)",
  "main": true/false
}
...

Can we also get the information about the caps lock and num lock status. Weather currently the caps lock is ON or OFF. Or maybe some other way to achieve the same (get caps/num lock status).
