Hi Guys
Thanks for all the suggestions, I have made a small script that pops up
an image when I press the caps-lock key, its is not perfect but at least
I get a warning that I have pressed\tapped the caps lock key. We will
see how that goes.
But I have one thing I would like to sort out, I have two screens, the
laptops and an external monitor, how can I get the message to display on
both screens. I have this line in the script
export DISPLAY=:0.0
Guessing I have to alter that, I think if I set display to :0.1 it
display on the laptop screen ( displays on the monitor at present) so
how can I get it to display on both?

Evening all
I have a laptop (Lenovo T530) which in Linux is devoid of a caps lock
indicator and my my typing could surely benefit from having an
indicator to let me know caps lock is on.
I have found that using the xkbutils package, I can run xkbvled -watch
1 from a terminal that displays a small green "led like" window on my
screen.
But here is the problem, the little window is probably no bigger than
the LED light on a keyboard so can get lost easily on the desktop. I
have not found away to attach it to the taskbar (xfce desktop, Debian
based distro)
So apart from improving my typing (oh how I remember laughing at the
girls in the typing class back in my school days), anybody got any
suggestion for a caps lock indicator
