I use a LUKS-LVM setup to encrypt my whole drive. Something within

On some occasions, especially with the laptop keyboard, I accidentally
hit the capslock key. After that all password attempts are wrong, of
course. The problem is that the capslock indicator light on my keyboard
does not light up. Also the screen content has no indicator for that.
I would really like for either feedback to work. It has cost me a couple
of hard resets after `systemd` got into a state where it failed to mount
`/` since I exhausted the number of trials for the password entry.
I think it's plymouth that presents the UI for entering in the
passphrase. Maybe search for an RFE for this, and file one if it
doesn't already exist.
