problem with capslock toggle script

[brotherhobbes 0]

Greetings, long time lurker, first time poster. Usually I can resolve my problems by reading through posts here, but this one I thought I'd ask about.

I have a simple script that uses capslock to indicate when it enabled. Starts with capslock off. Press capslock to start it up. Pressing capslock or enter disables the main functionality. Pressing capslock again re-enables.

The problem is that sometimes the capslock light will be off, but typing results in all caps. This can be seen by pushing capslock, enter, capslock, enter. the capslock light will be off, but anything typed will be in all caps.

Perhaps someone could help me find what should be an obvious bug, I just can't see it.

expandcollapse popup

; set initial values
AutoItSetOption("SendCapslockMode", 0)
Send("{CAPSLOCK off}")
HotKeySet("{CAPSLOCK}", "Toggle")
$bToggle = 0

; main loop
While 1
    If $bToggle = 1 Then
       ; functionality here
    EndIf
Wend

; called when user presses capslock
Func Toggle()
    If $bToggle = 0 Then
        $bToggle = 1
        HotKeySet("{CAPSLOCK}")
        Send("{CAPSLOCK on}")
        HotKeySet("{CAPSLOCK}", "Toggle")
        HotKeySet("{ENTER}", "Enter")
    Else
        $bToggle = 0
        HotKeySet("{CAPSLOCK}")
        Send("{CAPSLOCK off}")
        HotKeySet("{CAPSLOCK}", "Toggle")
    EndIf 
EndFunc

; called when enter is pressed, but only if toggle is on
Func Enter()
    $bToggle = 0
    HotKeySet("{CAPSLOCK}")
    Send("{CAPSLOCK off}")
    HotKeySet("{CAPSLOCK}", "Toggle")
    HotKeySet("{ENTER}")
    Send("{ENTER}")
EndFunc

Thought I was the only person who knew this existed I am planning a change that will make it redundant at some point

Just a comment (not useful though ), but it´s possible to change the status of the

capslock if you hold down Alt, Ctrl or Shift when pressing Capslock...
