| check whether the Caps Lock, Num Lock, or Scroll Lock keys are activated | | Arguments - keycode
-
An integer keycode, usually the keycode of the Caps Lock key (20), Num Lock key (144), or Scroll Lock key (145). Can also be the key constant Key.CAPSLOCK. Returns A Boolean indicating whether the key specified by keycode is locked on (true) or off (false). Description The isToggled( ) method detects the state of the special Caps Lock, Num Lock, or Scroll Lock keys. Unlike other keys, these keys have a locked "on" state and an unlocked "off" state, indicating whether or not the feature they represent is active. The return value of isToggled( ) tells us if the specified key is locked or not. Though isToggled( ) accepts any keycode, the return value is useful only for special keys that support a toggle feature. For all other keycodes it returns false. To detect the state of other keys, use isDown( ). Note that getCode( ) or getAscii( ) detect the last key pressed, which may have been subsequently released, and therefore do not reflect the current state of a key.
