How to trigger caps lock using trinket and trinketkeyboard.h

[jaredc23]

I want to make a program that checks if the caps lock is off, then if it is it turns caps lock on. But I can't see the output of getLEDstate() and it seems to not be working. is it that I am on Mac?
I tired this: digitalWrite(LED_CAPS, (TrinketKeyboard.getLEDstate()&KB_LED_CAPS)?HIGH:LOW);
but that doesn't do anything regardless if it is on or not.

does anyone know how to check the state and turn on the caps lock via code?

The LED state won't account for what happened before the USB connected, i.e. Caps/num/scroll lock must be toggled after the complete connection otherwise you won't get the state. As for how to send the keypress, that I'm not sure of either.

The header files for this library don't contain aliases for all the possible keyboard HEX codes. Refer to https://gist.github.com/MightyPork/6da26e382a7ad91b5496ee55fdc73db2 for a complete list.

To press the CAPSLOCK key, simply do:

#define KEY_CAPSLOCK 0x39

TrinketKeyboard.pressKey(0, KEY_CAPSLOCK);
TrinketKeyboard.pressKey(0, 0);

Thank you @samdenty ! I had pretty much abandoned hope that there would be a way.
