This is for fixing #1599.
I don't see any facilities in Cocoa to query the current state of caps lock, only updates. It seems like that might be present in HID - but HID is gated by security permissions in recent macOS releases. So far I've considered HID out of bounds for macOS.
@dpogue - If you have any Cocoa APIs I don't know about I'd be happy to implement. Would also be happy to forward on to Apple for guidance. I didn't see anything during my research online - and it does not even seem like the Game Controller framework supports querying Caps Lock. But my investigation was pretty shallow.
