How to differentiate capital and lower letters with caps lock

Question

I have trouble to differentiate capital and lower case letters if Caps Lock is ON or OFF.

I tried This Example but it's not determine Caps Lock.

For e.g. if i press small a OR capital A with Caps Lock On it returns same output.

Thanks for help !

You can use the key property of the event object:

If the CapsLock is on, event.key='A', and if it off event.key='a'

document.body.addEventListener('keypress', function(event) {
  console.log(event.key);
});

You can use keyup or keydown events also, it is the same.
