Caps Lock Toggle AppleScript

[MikeMcC]

I've built a simple AppleScript to toggle the CapLock
And it is working well.

But the caps lock LED doesn't activate.

Is there something I could add to the script to activate the Cap Lock indicator?

Here is another approach:

Programmatically Toggle the Caps Lock Key

Hey Folks, Someone posted this and then withdrew it. I tested the code, and it works perfectly on my macOS 10.12.6 Sierra system, so I'm posting it for posterity. Our own @CJK gets the credit. -Chris // -------------------------------------------------------- // @CJK // 2019.06.02 · 15:49 // Toggle caps lock programmatically using AppleScript's JavaScript for Automation (JXA) // https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/361373/toggle-caps-lock-programmatically-using-applescript // --------…

However, see the restriction.

I don't believe it's possible to get the hardware indication (the light) from a software-based change. Alternatively, you could have a notification appear when a script runs. Example:
