Display notification of Caps Lock macOS key with Captin

Keyboard on Macbook owns fast response speed, smooth typing does not cause too loud knock as other models. However, some macOS users are quite struggling with three Shift, Tab and Caps Lock keys. Since these 3 keys are placed side by side, some people often mistakenly click, leading to wrong content, especially those who regularly edit text.
