As far as (3) goes, the program already uses the names NumLock, ScrollLock, and CapsLock.

If we follow those three guidelines I think the choice makes itself.

I was indeed to obscure!!!

I am worried that if we use CAPSLOCKON we are implying a too firm connection with the key CAPSLOCK

I can't remember if I said this before, but ...

We could (although we probably don't want to) treat the CAPSLOCK light state completely separately from the CAPSLOCK key (I think)

In other words define the F1 key to switch the state on and off and define the CAPSLOCK key to do something different

As I said.....obscure...but I thought I would seed the thought

I didn't realize you wanted to assign the LEDs to different keys. Interesting idea. It never occurred to me.

My initial reaction is, I'm not sure but I think the LEDs are controlled by the keyboard driver. If so, it's probably way too much work. If you assign an LED to a new key, then the old key loses it indicator, and that would tend to confuse people.

I didnt want to have this functionality.......happy the leds stay.......sorry I have added confusion........

During our discussions, it occurred to me that the LEDS were actually something different to the keys.........and I wanted to consider this as part of our design discussions

Don't even consider doing it.........

THis is a bit like your 'cat jumped' thing....I like to think what is 'really' going on

I think it's good to suggest a lot of ideas. Brainstorming, we call it.

I don't mean to chase, did you decide if you were going to implement this or not?

I decided to wait until I decide how to implement "execute this hotkey only if such-and-such a window is in the foreground" because that may require if statements, and the syntax for the two things should probably be similar.

Have you implemented this? I noticed a release and this function
'SendFocusWin /Sends keystrokes to the window that has the focus. '

Sorry, no, it hasn't been implemented yet. SendFocusWin is unrelated to waiting for a window. It sends keystrokes to whichever window happens to be active.

Are you asking about the led/toggle stuff because you have an urgent need for it? Or just curious?

Innerspace is a Developers platform for DirectX games.

Well I want to change my config, and for me, having two or three different 'set ups' switchable by a key for the F1-F4 bank of keys would make a big difference. If the capslock/scrolllock function is available then it would make my life easier. If not, I am going to have to do something more dramatic.

Is it urgent? well everytime I wipe to a boss, I think about it .....but it isn't stopping me playing and it certainly isn't rl life or death. :)
