Caps Lock State (Beta)

Real-time Caps Lock state monitoring for Visual Studio Code.

Currently only tested on Windows.

Cursor Color

Configuration

Open Settings (Ctrl+,) and search for Caps Lock State to customize:

Setting	Type	Default	Description
`caps-lock-state.delay_time`	integer	`20`	Polling interval for detecting Caps Lock state changes (ms).
`caps-lock-state.editorCursor.foreground`	string	`#00ff00`	Cursor color when Caps Lock is ON.

How It Works

it writes / restores the value of editorCursor.foreground inside workbench.colorCustomizations:

Caps Lock state	Action
ON	Write `editorCursor.foreground = <your custom color>`
OFF	Restore the original value (or remove the key, letting the active theme decide)

Known Issues

editorCursor.foreground may remain in your settings after disable/uninstall. Open Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) → Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON) and delete the editorCursor.foreground line inside workbench.colorCustomizations if needed.

Legacy Settings

Legacy (old-version) settings are documented in LEGACY_SETTINGS.md.
