FEATURE REQUEST: Capslock functionality

[ffalcon31415]

Would be great to have a toggle permitting capslock functionality to be used while lintalist is running.

Thanks for the excellent tool!!

[lintalist]

You can

• assign a different hotkey if you like, see StartSearchHotkey setting in the configuration, that frees up Capslock
• Pause Lintalist via the Tray menu, that should also make Capslock work
• run a separate AutoHotkey script - code below - that will toggle the Capslock state and also Pause/unpause Lintalist

Save this in a new AutoHotkey script, or add it to you main AutoHotkey script if you have one and run it:

#NoEnv

DetectHiddenWindows, On
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
WM_COMMAND := 0x0111
ID_FILE_SUSPEND := 65404

#F12:: ; winkey+f12, change it to your preference, see https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v1/Hotkeys.htm and https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v1/KeyList.htm
if GetKeyState("CapsLock", "T") = 0
	{
	SetCapsLockState, On
	}
Else if GetKeyState("CapsLock", "T") = 1
	{
	SetCapsLockState, Off
	}
PostMessage, WM_COMMAND, ID_FILE_SUSPEND,,, lintalist.ahk ahk_class AutoHotkey
Return

One could also toggle the CapsLock hotkey activation by double press on it
