capsLock

numLock

scrollLock

shift

control

alt

Usage

import { useKeyModifier } from '@vueuse/core'

const capsLockState = useKeyModifier('CapsLock')

console.log(capsLockState.value)

Events

You can customize which events will prompt the state to update. By default, these are mouseup, mousedown, keyup, keydown. To customize these events:

import { useKeyModifier } from '@vueuse/core'

const capsLockState = useKeyModifier('CapsLock', { events: ['mouseup', 'mousedown'] })

console.log(capsLockState) // null

// Caps Lock turned on with key press
console.log(capsLockState) // null

// Mouse button clicked
console.log(capsLockState) // true

Initial State

By default, the returned ref will be Ref<null> until the first event is received. You can explicitly pass the initial state to it via:

const capsLockState1 = useKeyModifier('CapsLock') // Ref<boolean | null>
const capsLockState2 = useKeyModifier('CapsLock', { initial: false }) // Ref<boolean>
