@love-to-code108 just create a PR if you have a working version.

@love-to-code108 feel free to attempt this but we've had multiple iterations of this and every time one OS/browser combo fails. As far as i remember there was some limitation in Linux that prevented us from detecting caps lock release until the next keypress (we should really document this somewhere).

[fehmer]

Something else to notice is that the caps-lock detection works differently if the focus is on the test input (#words) or not. So far we couldn't figure out why.

This is my current best attempt if someone is interested https://github.com/fehmer/caps-lock-detection/blob/main/index.html#L14

@fehmer Thankyou for the reference i am sure it will be very helpful .

@Miodec yes i am using the flatpak version of brave , and there are some issues that keep occurring with this one , like i wasn't able to connect gnome extension with brave by any means ( most likely because this is a flatpak ) , but well i have used monkeytype for more than a year now and it has been a very big part of my typing journey so trust me its and honour to be of any help any way possible .

Oh and i will try to document what happens in this journey .

Thankyou :)

I'm encountering a similar issue. When I reload the page with Caps Lock still active, the alert unexpectedly deactivates, which doesn't seem logical.

Is it a same issue or should I open a new issue for it?

There is no way for browsers to detect the state of caps lock on page load - it requires a key to be pressed to be able to read its state.

Just a browser limitation.
