It is possible to auto-activate the camera movement in pause without CapsLock also?
Would be more easy to use and Mac users can benefit even without CapsLock support.

A blind fix for enabling Caps Lock detection for Mac has just gone in. It is completely untested and I would be super happy even if it simply builds. Any Mac users testing nightlies, please let us know if it worked.

I am wondering if instead of the obvious "switchable" CapsLock key this could be assignable to anything else, and maybe just show an (e.g. camera) icon on the side of the game screen while active.
The reason for this request is that some of the newer laptops don't have a visible CapsLock (neither NumLock, nor ScrollLock for that matter) LED indicators nowadays, which can be a little frustrating.
