Flashing keyboard LEDs

Here is a simple script to make a keyboard's LED blink

Copy the script below and save it as .wsf

Rem blinking LED :vstsv <package>    <job id="vbs">       <script language="VBScript">          set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")            For count=0 to 10              WshShell.SendKeys "{CAPSLOCK}"              WScript.Sleep 500              WshShell.SendKeys "{NUMLOCK}"              WScript.Sleep 500              WshShell.SendKeys "{SCROLLLOCK}"              WScript.Sleep 500            Next       </script>    </job> </package>

The other alternative for Windows user is to use SendKeys Python module. You can find it here. The page also contains good tutorial and documentation.

import SendKeys SendKeys.SendKeys("""     {CAPSLOCK}     {PAUSE 1}     {NUMLOCK}     {PAUSE 1}     {SCROLLLOCK}     {PAUSE 1} """)

JAVA can be used to get the same results.

import java.awt.Toolkit; import java.awt.event.KeyEvent; public class SendKeys { public boolean numlock(boolean s) { Toolkit tool = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit(); try { tool.setLockingKeyState(KeyEvent.VK_NUM_LOCK, s); } catch (Exception e) { return false; } return true; } public boolean capslock(boolean s) { Toolkit tool = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit(); try { tool.setLockingKeyState(KeyEvent.VK_CAPS_LOCK, s); } catch (Exception e) { return false; } return true; } public boolean scrolllock(boolean s) { Toolkit tool = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit(); try { tool.setLockingKeyState(KeyEvent.VK_SCROLL_LOCK, s); } catch (Exception e) { return false; } return true; } public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { SendKeys flasher = new SendKeys(); for(int i=0;i<10;i++){                    flasher.numlock(true);                 Thread.sleep(500);                 flasher.numlock(true);                 Thread.sleep(500);                 flasher.capslock(true);                 Thread.sleep(500);                  flasher.capslock(true);                  Thread.sleep(500);                 flasher.scrolllock(true);                  Thread.sleep(500);                 flasher.scrolllock(true);                  Thread.sleep(500);             } } }
