Hi,
I am trying to figure out if there is any way to show CAPS lock status in SSMS like we have in MS Word?
For instance, we can right click on the Status Bar in Word or Excel and enable or disable the status of CAPS lock to show there. (Please see the attachment).
Thanks.

Not that I'm aware of.

CAPS lock is affected system wide, so the indicator in the keyboard should be enough.
If there's no indicator in the keyboard, there's usually an icon next to the clock.
Why would you want to use the mouse when you're going to use the keyboard anyway?

It's funny... SSMS shows "INS" and "OVR". It wouldn't have killed them to add "CAP" to the status bar.

@Brandie Tarvin, Thanks for replying.
@luis Cazares, I felt the need of CAPS Lock status, because, I don't have to look at keyboard and am able to write code with best practices, like "SELECT TOP 10 *, UPPER(firstname) FROM dbo.mytable;". So, if the status is there on the screen I don't have to switch my eyes to keyboard every time I have want to confirm the status. Nothing very special about it, but, I thought there might have been some way that I may not be aware of, like, they have for MS Word and MS Excel. Switching On/Off I would prefer with keyboard itself. Just needed the status in the Status Bar. Thanks for your time anyways...! appreciate it.
@jeff Moden, You are right, Microsoft should have considered it... Thanks to you too for your time and reply..!!
