🎀 NAME 🎀

al_set_keyboard_leds — Allegro 5 API ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

bool al_set_keyboard_leds(int leds)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically this function overrides the state of the keyboard LED indicators. like, the little lights. the numlock glow. the caps lock situation. she's in charge now 💖

you pass in leds as a combination of the keyboard modifier flags, and whichever ones you include get their corresponding LED indicators turned on. the supported ones are:

• ALLEGRO_KEYMOD_NUMLOCK
• ALLEGRO_KEYMOD_CAPSLOCK
• ALLEGRO_KEYMOD_SCROLLLOCK

or, plot twist, you set leds to -1 and everything goes back to the default behavior. no notes, we love a reset era 🫶

and here's the part where you gotta listen, bestie: False gets returned if the current keyboard driver cannot set LED indicators. not a vibe, but that's just how it is 😭
