Tired of accidentally hitting Caps Lock or Insert while you're typing? I wrote this NumCapsInsScroll app[^] to give you both visual and audible notifications when you hit one of those keys. Download Here [^] Please provide feedback. Source code available upon request.

That's pretty slick. 2 thoughts come to mind: - Make each button optional...that is, I might not care about displaying the state of Scroll or Ins - Wondering if it would look better as a set of icons in the system tray (next to the clock) instead of a floating window...that might go against Microsoft's long-standing position on "abusing" the system tray, but nobody's going to break down your front door and bring you in for questioning if you do. Besides, it could also be a user option (one or the other...or both, really).

Thanks for the feedback. 1) I like the idea of independently tracking each button. Easy option to add in. 2) The Toolbar doesn't have to be displayed. The second option on the Options dialog is "Show the toolbar", which when unchecked, hides the toolbar. I got this idea from a similar app I saw that had an icon with 3 vertical bars that turned green when their specific button was pressed. I could do the same I guess. As far as using the System Tray - Screw MS :)...

Of course...but then, there's little point in leaving the app running if it's not going to show anything, right? My main point is that I'm not a fan of floating windows, especially if they're intended to show information you only want to quickly glance at. But hey, these were merely ideas I was throwing at you.

Wrong. The app is monitoring the state of the keys. When you press one it plays a Click sound. The toolbar isn't really necessary. Closing the toolbar doesn't kill the app.

Ah, ok. That'll teach me to provide feedback for an app without even...downloading it. :-O
No worries

The driver they provide is for the multimedia keyboard which came with the PC. I downloaded the driver just in case but it does not include the num/caps/scroll lock indicator on the quick launch (lower right) toolbar. I have two other HP desktops (one with Visat 32 bit & one with XP) that came with the HP On-Screen Cap/Num/Scroll Lock Indicator installed at build. Still searching...
