Keyboard Modifiers Status

by kms0

Shows keyboard modifiers status. It is more useful when accessibility feature - sticky keys is active. Current supported features: - Indicates status of these modifiers: Shift, Caps, Control, Alt, AltGr, Meta/Cmd, Num, (Scroll?) - Shows these states in Wayland: Off, Active, Latched, Locked. - In Xorg session only effective status: Off, Active. (As Gnome-shell 49, Xorg support dropped) Let's not forget that our aim should be fixing such basic Accessibility upstream on Gnome-Shell itself. If you know someone with good knowledge in Gnome technologies and could give it a try to fix this, here is the bug report: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/4706

- Added option to select panel side where indicator is inserted (prev. was only on right box) - Requesting permission to show this ext on lock mode: this ext show modifiers status, gnome-shell don't have such accessibility feature yet. as inside user session, users who need it there, will need to know modifiers status while entering password. it is even good to be enabled on all modes, but let's keep it so till it is more stable.

Add the reason for `session-modes` to the disable: [EGO Review Guidelines: Session Modes](https://gjs.guide/extensions/review-guidelines/review-guidelines.html#session-modes) Also, you can't use any other modes (gdm is not allowed on EGO since gdm needs system permission).
