CAPS lock status in Linux

803718Oct 7 2010 — edited Oct 7 2010
Hi,
I'm trying to get the CAPS lock status in Java to display the same to the user in my application. I've used the code

Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getLockingKeyState(KeyEvent.VK_CAPS_LOCK) .

This works properly in Windows but throws UnsupportedOperationException in Linux. Can you help me to get the CAPS lock state in Linux.

Regards
Ruban
