KeyzPal

Granted, most keyboards nowadays come with indicator lights that let you know whether Caps, Num and Scroll are active. Then again, some wireless and notepad keyboards do not have this basic feature, in which case you need to rely on third-party tools.

KeyzPal is a lightweight utility that has the role of indicating when keys such as Caps, Num and Scroll are active from the System Tray.

The application is portable, so simply download and decompress in the desired location to get started. After the launch, the program can be accessed from the System Tray and does not really have an interface.

The GUI is basically a settings window where you can browse between several icon sets and select one that suits your current Windows theme. At the same time, the choice of icons can be useful if you have several icons in the System Tray and want to immediately spot whether the aforementioned keys are on or off.

It is worth mentioning that you can have several sessions of the application open at the same time. To put it simply, you can open 3 different sessions for each button, so you can easily determine the status of the keys.

Although currently in Beta, the developer added a conditional Caps Lock function that enables you to toggle the key on and off depending on the active window. To activate the condition, you can create a lists.ini file where you can add up to 10 programs and place it in the same folder as the executable.

In the eventuality that you are using a notebook or a keyboard that lacks light indicators for Caps, Scroll and Lock and would like to know when they are toggled on or off, then perhaps you can consider giving KeyzPal a try.
