Caps Lock indicator light malfunctions with Keyboard Manager

[arjunbalgovind]

Even if you suppress toggle keys (namely Caps Lock, Num Lock and Scroll Lock) with a low level hook the indicator light on the keyboard still gets toggled.

The following user-end problems can rise from this:
• A user swaps the Caps Lock key with his Tab key. Based on how the low level hook works, pressing the physical tab key (now internally Caps) seems to toggle the indicator light as expected (correct behavior). However clicking the physical Caps Lock key (which is now internally Tab) also toggles the indicator light (unexpected behavior), even though it does the action of Tab. This would basically mean the indicator light for Caps Lock might sometimes show “On” even though its Off or vice versa, hence confusing the user. This also applies to case where a user remaps a shortcut containing the Caps Lock key.
• At the detect key and detect shortcut window, when the user taps Caps Lock it will be detected correctly however the indicator light will toggle even though the actual functionality of the key has been suppressed.

There could be some hack-based way to fix this by re-sending Caps lock keydown messages so that the light gets toggled as per requirement.

Confirmed with my 1903. Capslock functionality is remapping properly, but the keyboard light is still toggling when I press caps lock.

Being able to swap the Esc & Caps keys would make me use this project. (Right now I'm using uncap, which is far from perfect too)

@erezsh while we don't currently support the dual remap feature (tracked at #5679 ), you should be able to swap Esc and Caps. Can you let us know what is the issue that you are facing?

@arjunbalgovind Yes, it does work! Thanks, you just improved my Windows experience by a lot!

Also been able to confirm that on my computer (which is now 1909) and latest PToys that the capslock light does NOT illuminate when I have remapped the capslock key to something else. Thanks @arjunbalgovind .This issue should be closed.

when using mapping above, caplocks toggles correctly
