Version:            (using KDE 4.0.83)

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. Please port this applet to KDE 4 as
well. Thanks.

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.

So, it works and we can close the bugreport :)

@Dotan
If you don't agree please reopen or create a new bugreport with details what is 
missing so we can implement it. Thanks for the feedback.

Thank you Sebastian, but the Keyboard LEDs applet does not suit the needs of 
Sticky Keys users. 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.

What? 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!

This plasmoid became available in kde4.2  as part of the "kde4-plasma-

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?

@John: Suse added the plasmoid, KDE 4.2 did not ship with it. I don't

Sebastian, is there an ETA for this issue? This plasmoid is very
necessary for users with manual disabilities.

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.

Hi,

I've written a plasmoid some time ago which might be interesting for you.
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:

I'm doing my final exams right now so I don't have that much free time.

I will have a look at the plasmoid though, as it causes high CPU load on my box.
And once I started again I can move on to the other open tasks... ;)
