This image (from a Reddit post) shows the expected visual OSD behavior that I
am reporting as missing in my X11 session. This is the feature that is not
working.
Hello KDE Team,
I am experiencing an issue where the Lock Keys On-Screen Display (OSD) is not
functioning on my Fedora 43 system, even when using the correct X11 session.
System Details:
Plasma Version: plasmashell 6.5.2
Operating System: Fedora 43
Session Type: Plasma (X11)
Problem Description:
The large, centered On-Screen Display (OSD) for Caps Lock and Num Lock (the
visual 'A' or '1' in the middle of the screen) does not appear when the keys
are pressed.
I have confirmed I am not on Wayland.
I manually installed the plasma-workspace-xorg package.
I logged out and specifically selected the "Plasma (X11)" session from the
login screen.
I have verified this by running echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE in the terminal, which
correctly outputs x11.
The core of the problem seems to be a configuration bug. When I go to System
Settings > Accessibility > Modifier Keys, the only option available is "Show
notification when a modifier or lock key is used".
This option only enables the "pop-up" style notification (like an application
notification), not the proper, large OSD. The correct "Visual feedback" OSD
option, which should be available in the X11 session, is completely missing
from the settings.
It appears the system is incorrectly applying the Wayland notification behavior
to the X11 session.
Steps to Reproduce:
Run Fedora 43 with Plasma 6.5.2.
Install plasma-workspace-xorg.
Log in to a "Plasma (X11)" session.
Press the Caps Lock key.
Check System Settings > Accessibility > Modifier Keys.
Actual Results:
No OSD appears.
The Accessibility settings page only shows the pop-up notification option.
Expected Results:
The large, centered OSD for lock keys should appear.
The Accessibility settings should show the correct option to enable/disable
this visual OSD feedback (not the pop-up notification).
Thank you for your work on Plasma.
