Just when you think that laptop manufacturers couldn't go any farther off the rails, Lenovo has apparently decided that physical keyboard status LEDs are just too darn expensive.
if you consider the oem cost for an led and associated circuit cost $0.10 and they build runs of 10,000 of said laptop, they would save $1,000 per run. could be they figured that i one is typing and letters change to upper case, one should realize that <caps lock> was pressed instead of <tab>. ;-)
Does anyone know of a keyboard LED applet/widget that can be used with KDE? (An actual Plasma widget is obviously preferred, but I'll take anything that can run in the system tray.)
if you do not notice change in typing, would you see it in system tray? ;;-) on serious side, if you know any c/c++ or basic [yuck], or al [yea], or someone who does, you/they can capture key being pressed and 'ring a bell' to notify of such. as for an applet/widget, nay. -- in a world with out fences, who needs gates. tc. hago. g . -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
