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

To Reproduce

  1. Include the chord above
  2. Press left-shift + right-shift

Expected behavior

The caps lock LED lights up when the caps lock is active.
