vscode: Is it possible to make (not remap) `caps lock` as one of the modifier keys?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I am not asking to remap Caps Lock to other modifier keys but I want to configure Caps Lock as one of modifier key for my own usage. Any ideas? :D

On Windows you can use AutoHotKey(usually briefly as ahk) with the WinActive function to make the ahk script only work when you're in vscode, mapping CapsLock+* keys to usually-not-used combinations like ctrl+shift+alt+* and write the ctrl+shift+alt+* keys to vscode's key configs.
It would roughly look like this:
; comment: the class used here is made up
; right click a running script in the system tray and go to "window spy" to get the right class name
; there are also usual `if`s but this one applies the condition to all the code following it
#If WinActive("ahk_class VSCode")
CapsLock & a::
SendInput, ^+!a
return
And of course if you want to get the function of capslock in the editor, you can easily use a combination like CapsLock & Shift to acomplish it like above.
