Detect Caps Lock with JavaScript

Just came here to say, please don't do this to your users, or your business.

Also, can someone please tell me that Facebook doesn't really do this?

Facebook does do this, and it's perfectly fine: https://security.stackexchange.com/a/214815

It exchanges a few bits of entropy for a much smoother user experience, and it doesn't actually aid an attacker much (they could just try the permutations themselves)
