An accessibility Plasmoid that shows the status of various key on your keyboard (for example if "Caps Lock" is enabled or "Meta" is pressed).
The Plasmoid currently provides three layouts:
- A "key name" based layout, in this case part of the taskbar:
- A "symbol" based layout (where every key has it's own symbol assigned) - works horizontally and vertically:
- A "rectangle" based layout (where every key shows a colored rectangle) - works horizontally and vertically:
Download this git repository, then run:
plasmapkg2 -i <path/to/keystate-plasmoid>/package/
Updating it is very similar: update to the latest git version and run:
plasmapkg2 -u <path/to/keystate-plasmoid>/package/
Q: Where does the plasmoid get it's data from?
A: It gets it's data from the 'keystatus' DataEngine (which is shipped with Plasma)
Q: Ok, I've installed it but how do I uninstall it?
A: plasmapkg2 -r eu.blumenstingl.martin.keystateplasmoid
Q: Scroll Lock is not working for me (in X.Org)
A: This is a limitation of X.Org's default configuration. A workaround is available at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94226:
xmodmap -e "add mod3 = Scroll_Lock"
- Maybe add a SVG layout that uses files shipped with the Plasma theme?
- A better KConfig default value for the font
