--- Comment #17 from Heiko Tietze  ---
Removing needsUX as this request makes much sense. Ideally we make it
configurable (not all users need this info in the cluttered statusbar), so it
depends on bug 92406.

It could be an interesting easyhack.

So lets expand this a bit -- currently we have Insert/Overwrite mode in status
bar--but we need a Caps Lock and also a Number Lock indicator.

The current space in the status bar used for Insert/Overwrite mode is labeled
with text, that space could be used for three icons perhaps with a localized
single character label.

Red or green dots with a single character (localized) label

C: Red off/Green locked on - for capslock
I: Red off/Green locked on - for insert
N: Red off/Green locked on - for numlock

Or maybe just amber dots for each when any is toggled active. The space could
be active to toggle mode as it is now for insert/overwrite--or it could be a
simple status indicator.

 Red or green dots with a single character (localized) label

My keyboard has red LEDs for those states. And on means active. I don't think
its a good idea. A short abbreviation is better here. CAP, NUM, INS always
visible but disabled when inactive.

Thanks Ibrahim and Adolfo for pointing out that Word has it as an option.

(In reply to Geoffrey from comment #9)
 Not all people immediately see Caps Lock is on, for example on a laptop the
 LED light for Caps Lock might be absent or easily overlooked.

Most people can identify that caps lock is on when they type, as all the
letters would be in capital letters.

 At least an option to show the current state is desirable.

If it possible to allow the customization of the statusbar, like in Word, so
that users who want it added can enable it, that seems like a good thing.

Just for your information, MS Word 2007 does have a caps-lock indicator but its
not visible by default. I have no idea if other versions have this feature.

To get the Caps Lock indicator visible do the following:

1.Right-Click the status bar.
2.Click on Caps Lock in the list.

Now when your Caps Lock is ON the word Caps Lock will appear. 

I personally do not think this is an important issue because there is alot of
ways to have indicators either in the keyboard physically or through the
Operating System. But I do not think its bad either, so if it can be done why
not?

I dont think this is a needed feature or should we also add status for when
numlock is pressed. I find it silly that currently have a statusbar entry for
insert, as we already have a different cursor used when we are in insert mode.

(In reply to Adolfo Jayme from comment #3)
 In the status bar, as in Word? I think it should be an icon instead of text,
 it would take less space.

I dont see any status bar entry in Word for capslock. Can you advise were you
see this.

For Insert, I agree with you that's not really useful :) In fact, I don't even
like Insert and when I use it, it's by accident and I turn it off immediately.
