Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Some keyboards (mine included) has no lights for caps/num lock.

Describe the solution you'd like

A module which shows the status of these on the bar, ie by showing an icon when the mod is on. This can be achieved by binding to libinput

Describe alternatives you've considered

SwayOSD can do this as a separate layer-shell application.

Fast-tracking this myself because a) fun little change from bugfixing horrible things and b) I keep fumbling caps and driving myself crazy
