Unfortunately the laptop doesn't have light indicators on the keyboard for keys such as: CapLock, NumLock, Insert, etc. Is there any way to get a graphical indicator on a docking bar to show their status? Thanks, -TomI don't know whether or not gkrellm-leds would work for you. Last time I tried it I found it to look at little out of place on my Xfce4 desktop, but it did perform some of the functions you're looking for. (I don't think it had an insert indicator, but my memory could be wonky.)If you're using XFCE, you might find https://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-kbdleds-plugin more to your taste. The code is a bit old, but still works well. This give you a panel plugin with a simple "cns" where each letter gets capitalised and given a green background when the appropriate lock is on.
Thanks, Darac. I looked at that page, but it appears that the download links are not working. Even if they were working, I'm not sure I'd want to try to install something that old. There have been a lot of changes to the Xfce4 panel since that plugin was last updated.
In any case, I'm switching to wired keyboards with indicators this weekend, so it's a moot point for me. JP
