This is helpful especially for users of Sticky Keys, which I need due to disability. Please port this applet to KDE 4 as well. Thanks.

Can you provide a link, so that I can see if this meets the needs of the Sticky Keys people? I notice that the priority has been moved down to NOR again. For those with 10 operable fingers who do not rely on Sticky Keys this applet may seem unimportant. For me, it is the difference between typing and not typing. Please reconsider returning the priority to HI as I (and others like me) will be unable to use KDE 4 until this is implemented. Thanks.

The Keyboard LEDs applet only shows the Caps Lock, Scroll Lock, and Num lock status. Sticky Keys users need these functions (provided by the Show Keyboard Status applet in KDE 3.x): * Shift key status * Ctrl key status * Tux key status * Alt key status These are the modifier keys that Sticky Keys makes sticky. I am reopening this bug instead of filing a new bug against the Keyboard LEDs applet because the scope of the Show Keyboard Status applet is not the same scope as that of the Keyboard LEDs applet. They serve two separate purposes. Thanks.

This is an important accessibility issue. Us silly disabled users do not care if the UI is horrific or if the code is ancient. We care that we can at least use the computer!

It seems that KDE4.3 calls the packages "plasma-addons" and does not included this utility. I am not sure if this is distribution specific or a problem with KDE 4 in general. Is there a way to manually download and install this utility?

I don't know why Suse removed it for 4.3. You might want to ask on the Suse list and file an issue on the Suse bugtracker. Sebastian, is there an ETA for this issue? This plasmoid is very necessary for users with manual disabilities.

It's hard to work without it. It is also a serious issue for certain desktop keyboards, like the Logitech MX 3200, which does not have leds by itself, but (on Windows) relies on the capability of the OS to display the status.

Check out this forum post: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=157&t=86964#p153417 What's missing is probably an "Icon Layout". Also the settings dialog probably has to be redone (I'm not good at UI stuff - I just wanted to get the UI working somehow...). Feel free to ping me if you have questions/ideas how my plasmoid could be improved.

Dotan got the same problem. I'm not sure if it's my code's fault or if something else is broken. Could you try starting my plasmoid with plasmoidviewer (just unzip the plasmoid file somewhere and run "plasmoidviewer ." from there) PS: I think any discussion regarding my plasmoid should be done somewhere else :) Maybe we should move it to kde-accessibility as there's already a thread for it: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-accessibility&m=127896530222730&w=2 Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/289440/comments/46 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2011-05-26T22:38:47+00:00 Kde-2011-08 wrote: Martin, has there been any progress with your plasmoid?
