Howdy, I just recently purchased a new laptop, and I have noticed that there is no num lock LED anywhere to indicate that that I have changed the numeric keypad to input numbers instead of the navigation keys. I was wondering, has anyone developed a kde widget that could be installed in the system tray that would indicate if the num lock has been activated? This would be very helpful, as I am constantly switching back and forth. The page up and page down keys are only on the numeric keypad, so in order to use them I have to turn the numbers off. I have noticed that a lot of laptops are removing this led indicator, so it seems that some kind of widget would be the perfect way to be helpful in this area.

I've seen this: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/indicator-keylock-displays-keyboard.html I don't know if there is a kde compatible one or if you could even install it on Opensuse. I've also seen reference to plasma-widget-kbstate -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Brilliant. That's solved a problem that I'd reported as a bug with my Logitech K750 USB wireless keyboard. Since upgrading to oS 13.2, the Number keypad stopped working, however many times I toggled the NumLock key. I don't know if it was a KDE bug. Since installing LockKeysState QML widget, it's started working again. This keyboard also doesn't have indicator lights, which is why I installed the widget. Back to Bugzilla to report the happy news...

Ok, I will try that, but could you tell me how to find and use the Plasma Desktop Shell Add-On Installer?
