No "show keyboard status" indicator in KDE4

Rate this Message:
KDE 3 has a "show keyboard status" (name translated, but it should be
similar) panel applet, that indicates the activation states for the keyboard meta keys. This is helpful especially for users of Sticky Keys, which I need due to disability. I have filed a bug regarding the issue, but it is currently unassigned and therefore not being taken care of. To whom should it be assigned? This is the bug: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165402 Thanks in advance. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? _______________________________________________ kde-accessibility mailing list kde-accessibility@... https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-accessibility |

It looks like they took everything bad from the Mozilla Bugzilla and copied it. Without the old version to compare it looks like the text is both smaller and narrower. At least the functionality is the same. > 1. checkout the sources > svn co > svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/keyboardLeds > > 2, go into the directory, compile and install. $KDEDIR should point to the > directory where your KDE4 is installed.

Sorry for the late response, I have been swamped. Actually, if I don't
finish this today, I do not know when I will get to it. 2008/8/18 Sebastian Sauer <mail@...>: > Dotan Cohen wrote: >> KDE 3 has a "show keyboard status" (name translated, but it should be >> similar) panel applet, that indicates the activation states for the >> keyboard meta keys.

What should I do from here? I could not find > anything on Google that seemed related. Looks as you need to install the X11 developer-packages. It may the easiest way to take a look at http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4#Required_packages_from_your_distribution and just install the list of developer-packages for your distribution listed at the link above. That's needed anyway if you plan to also compile other things your own in the future. If you are OpenSuse-user, then OpenSuse 11.1 does contain the Keyboard Status Applet already (see http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3746). I hope that helps. _______________________________________________ kde-accessibility mailing list kde-accessibility@... https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-accessibility |

I have been considering a move to Open Suse after playing with a test install a few weeks ago. That applet might be enough to get me to switch.
