Requirements
- I've searched platform-specific issues, issues and discussions to see if this has been reported before.
- My issue is unrelated to multiple key presses, OR it is and I've confirmed it is not key ghosting.
Describe the bug
I've set my configuration so that pressing the chord left-shift + right-shift activates the caps lock on or off. While that works as intended, the caps lock LED light doesn't light up when the caps lock is on.
A similar setup in Karabiner-Elements turns on the caps lock LED when it's on.
Relevant kanata config

- Include the chord above

Expected behavior
