CapsLk key active

Help
#1

how do i know a key is active in haxe? wanted to know when CapsLk is on

 trace(Keyboard.capsLock);

return “null”

#2

Possibly it might not work on all targets.

Something like:

package;

import openfl.display.Sprite;
import openfl.display.Stage;
import openfl.Lib;
import openfl.ui.Keyboard;
import openfl.events.KeyboardEvent;

class Main extends Sprite
{

	public function new()
	{
		super();
		stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, pressed);
	}

	private function pressed(e:KeyboardEvent):Void
	{
		trace(Keyboard.capsLock);
	}
}

works for flash but not html5. What platform are you targeting?

#3

It appears that Keyboard.capsLock is not currently implemented at all in OpenFL. It will only work when targeting Flash/AIR at this time.

#4

Too bad the computer camera doesn’t usually point at the keyboard, LOL.

#5

you can try to detect shift key, maybe it will work for caps lock as well

private function pressed(event:KeyboardEvent):Void
{
	isShiftKeyDown = event.shiftKey;
	...
}

also
in lime we have lime/KeyModifier.hx at develop · openfl/lime · GitHub
and capslock is already there, but seems like it’s not using in openfl events
I think you can access it somehow, or implement patch for lime
