## Mechanical Lock Switch Support
https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard#mechanical-locking-support

http://deskthority.net/wiki/Alps_SKCL_Lock
Using enabling this feature and using keycodes `LCAP`, `LNUM` or `LSCR` in keymap you can use physical locking CapsLock, NumLock or ScrollLock keys as you expected.
