Until someone develops that extension, you can always use the fantastic, distraction free FocusWriter https://gottcode.org/focuswriter/ Just enable the typewriter sounds under Settings > Preferences > General > Typewriter sounds For an added nostalgia, under Settings > Themes, switch to Old School ;) Best, Pedro > On April 2, 2019 at 4:26 PM Philipp < cycop...@gmx.de > mailto:cycop...@gmx.de > wrote: > > > > Hello, > > I hope this is getting throught to your 'Suggestions Box': > > I always thought, it would be nice to have an optional /*audio add-on*/ > for the Open Office Writer which gives out the Clatter, Ping!

Re: Optional Typewriter Sounds
Hi Matthias, thanks for that tip. :-) I just tried it out on Ubuntu 18.04 (with Gnome, on another computer) and haven't got it working there either, although I will keep trying and will post a bug report if it doesn't work out. Anyway, I guess that's OT for this list. :-) Lee, that's another cool tip. :-) After the IBM 92, I was soon typing on an IBM PC (8088) and that was indeed a good keyboard - and totally unbreakable. Those guys really built the hardware to last! :-) Anyway, like I originally said, what a cool idea about the typewriter sounds. :-) All the best, Dave On 2019-04-02 20:33, Matthias Seidel wrote: Am 02.04.19 um 19:26 schrieb Dave Nelson: Lovely idea, Philipp, I've just tried installing the snap on my Ubuntu Studio 18.10 and have not yet got it working.

If keyboard sfx emulator is not working, Unicomp bought IBM's keyboard business, you can buy a new "IBM" keyboard, no emulator needed. They optionally address issues like modern (USB) connector and the Windows and Office keys.

Optional Typewriter Sounds
Hello, I hope this is getting throught to your 'Suggestions Box': I always thought, it would be nice to have an optional /*audio add-on*/ for the Open Office Writer which gives out the Clatter, Ping! Crrk! Cachunk! (when lifting to the Shift function) etc. of a /*typewriter*/. It would be yet a nicer writing experience. Kind Regards, Philipp Schmidt (Hamburg) *
