Feature Request - NumLock Indicator

I recently purchased a new laptop with a keyboard which incorporates a numpad.
To make space for the additional keys, some standard keys (Del, Home, End, PgUp and PgDown) are very small and in inconvenient locations.
I frequently turn off NumLock to make use of the secondary functions of the keypad, which are much easier to use.

My keyboard has no NumLock indicator, so I am currently using the "TrayStatus" application to add a small icon to the system tray.

"TrayStatus" works well but seems like overkill since I am only using a small fraction of its capabilities.

Could you please consider adding a simple NumLock indicator to FastKeys.

You can develop on the following idea:

Shortcut: NumLock (enable Native and Wildcard options)
Type: Command

Code: Select all

Gui, nml:Destroy
Gui, nml:+AlwaysOnTop +ToolWindow -SysMenu -Caption +LastFound
Gui, nml:Font,  s12 bold, Verdana   ;change font color, size and font
Gui, nml:Color, white   ;change background color
Gui, nml:Add, Text,, NUMLOCK ON
if !GetKeyState("NumLock","T")
	Gui, nml:hide
else
	Gui, nml:Show, % "x" . (A_ScreenWidth/1.1) . "y" . (A_ScreenHeight/1.1) . " NoActivate"
