Did you find this documented somewhere with those defines? I can't find it

#

I assume the flags might be these, 0 to 5th bit: https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/documents/hut1_12v2.pdf in section 11.1

#

This also implies it is 0 (num lock) through 4 (kana): https://github.com/zmkfirmware/zmk/blob/db2fc2bffdbb44639a012dac006e826d745f74af/app/include/zmk/hid.h#L127-L128

You mean where capslock_bit doesnt work? If so, https://github.com/zmkfirmware/zmk/pull/1485#issuecomment-1807234456

Capslock-based `caps_word` by snoyer · Pull Request #1485 · zmkfirm...

According to the documentation:

The caps word behavior behaves similar to a caps lock, but will automatically deactivate [...]

This implementation of caps_word uses the capslock mechanism instead...

But I'd print the bitfield and confirm

#

I mean it is likely only missing the #define, I assume the bitfield itself still works

#

Oh okay

#

Let me check

#

I see other implementations using BIT(1) for the caps lock bit as well

Just curious, what is kana?

#

It is a keyboard mode used in JIS keyboards, I think https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kana

#

Maybe better link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_input_keys

Language input keys

Language input keys, which are usually found on Japanese and Korean keyboards, are keys designed to translate letters using an input method editor (IME). On non-Japanese or Korean keyboard layouts using an IME, these functions can usually be reproduced via hotkeys, though not always directly corresponding to the behavior of these keys.

So does this not work anymore?

I guess the code snippet doesn't work as is, but I don't see how it could ever have worked with the ZMK main branch. The Kconfig flag and the approach should work in general, though

#

Ah okay then, I’ll try that method and see if it works. It should be relatively simple.

Or maybe it was removed at some point, not sure

Do HID indicators work over bluetooth now? I read somewhere that they worked only over usb.

#

I think they are supposed to, but I don't know for sure
