I'd like to disable Caps Lock when Shift is pressed. Just like it is possible on Windows. But I don't have a way to detect if Caps Lock is already pressed. Would it be possible to add check for control keys such as Caps Lock in Constraints tab?

Hi, what do you mean by "disable caps lock"? Do you just not want Shift to have its usual behaviour where it capitalises keys when you hold it down? If so, does remapping it to something else or the "nothing" action not do this?

Shift shall still capitalize. Always. Even when caps lock is activated. And pressing shift should also deactivate the caps lock. So even when you forgot to turn off the caps lock, any time you start new sentence (with a capital letter), the caps lock would turn itself off.

This is what I have enabled on all my Windows machines: https://www.groovypost.com/howto/shift-key-disable-capslock/
