Advanced Caps Lock remap
Hi!
In Debian Sid I have set up my Caps Lock key to open a new browser tab with Google in my default browser unless I have new mail in which case the Caps Lock LED will light up and the mapping will change to GMail.
This is accomplished with a few lines of BASH and some C (full source available if anyone wants it).
Now I'm asking all of the Windows 7 gurus reading this if there's a way to do the same in 7. The LED part is kind of optional, but I need some sort of visual hint if the key is dynamically mapped.
Unfortunately for me the C code isn't very portable as it talks directly to the Linux kernel through the IOCTL interface, meaning I'd have to rewrite major parts of it from scratch (if it can be done easily with standard APIs I might consider it though).
If I have to code or script anything I'll provide the full source and any compiled binaries in return to the forum.
Thanks in advance

Update:
I wrote a script for AutoHotkey Basic to do just what I wanted.
Thanks to everyone here for being so friendly and helpful!
