Keyboard Display

A small, simple Windows app to notify when caps lock, num lock or scroll lock are toggled, via a popup in the bottom right corner of the desktop. Useful if your keyboard doesn't have lock indicators.

This application is currently in beta: There may still be some rough edges, but please feel free to test it and report any bugs found, or new features that may be beneficial!

• Modern design to fit Windows 10.
• Ignores clicks and does not steal focus from the foreground application.
• Hidden from taskbar.
• Under 1 MB in size.

If you'd rather not install Keyboard Display, you can always grab the portable zip file to try it out. Just head to the releases page, download and extract the zip, and run the executable.

Usage

Keyboard display will run in the background (starting on logon if specified during installation) and should pop up in the lower right hand corner of the screen whenever caps lock, num lock, or scroll lock are toggled. A system tray icon will appear to allow graceful exiting from its context menu.

If it doesn't work, please submit a bug.
