Numlock/caps-lock

Hi

It seems that SDL only registers when you turn ON numlock/capslock. Is
there a way around this, to get it to register OFF presses too, or is it
an os-specific “feature”?

Hello

I haven’t tried it, but maybe this will work:
if(SDL_GetModState() & KMOD_NUM); /* Numlock enabled */

I believe this was done because on some OS we only get the down event.
However, I’m looking to fix this for SDL 1.3
