Use case : as any boomer, I sometimes type while looking at the keyboard. And I end up starting sentences having the case all wrong.

This small service listens to keyboard events and detects words like hELLO . Then the caps lock is toggled and the word is retyped.

This package is written in Rust and uses rdev crate. It won't work with Wayland windowing system.

Run the following commands to install the package:

VERSION=$(curl "https://api.github.com/repos/ad2ien/caps-lock-auto-switch/tags" | jq -r '.[0].name')
curl -L "https://github.com/ad2ien/caps-lock-auto-switch/releases/download/${VERSION}/capslock-auto-switch_${VERSION#v}-1_all.deb -o capslock-auto-switch_${VERSION#v}-1_all.deb"
sudo dpkg -i capslock-auto-switch_${VERSION#v}-1_all.deb
rm capslock-auto-switch_${VERSION#v}-1_all.deb

Pre requisites:

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev xorg-dev libxdo-dev

Run:

cargo run

./debian-build.sh --lint 

Off course lint arg is optional

Only tried on Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS. Should work on any Debian based distri with X11.
