GDM login with caps lock indicator

I just got a new thinkpad and it doesn't have caps lock indicator.
Is their a way to customized GDM login to have an indication of the caps status ?

I needed to logout and check it for myself, but you are completely right. There is no indicator when CAPS are enabled.

Did we miss it when it was moved to Wayland?

Does it mean it was their before when we have Xorg ?

as Workaround I found a way to display the text, by right click and show text.
