Sometimes the caps lock light doesn't show the status to the real status of the caps lock. Until now, I thought that I'd used the caps key while the focus isn't on VRPC. However, I recently found a way to create this without leaving fullscreen modus in VRPC.

If I type shift-caps, RISC OS goes into 'ShiftCaps' mode, i.e. capitals but lowcaps when used with shift. This works as intended, but while a 'real' acorn keeps the caps lock always on in this mode, VRPC toggles the light, with the result that it gets out of sync.

I'm not sure if I want this issue resolved: It is a nice way to get the caps light & function 'in sync' again.

It would have been lovely if VRPC on gaining focus would adjust the caps-light to the actual status within the emulator.

Personally I'd prefer it if VRPC kept instep with windows caps lock state.

Having the caps lock state change when you switch between applications I would find extreemly anoying! Well actually I already find it extreemly annoying!

I agree, but I suppose that might be a bit strange for applications that wouldn't allow the change of the caps-status and change it back again or something like that. Well, maybe not. I don't know. How many of those are there?!?!?... It just felt technically more correct to do it the way I proposed. But I agree, I would prefer your method...
