Num Lock/Caps Lock indicator with notifications

Modern laptop keyboards lacking a LED to show the status of such keys as NumsLock or UpperCaseLock, I very much appreciate this applet on my Clevo-W970 under Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon. I have received a new laptop Clevo-NJ70 under Linux Mint 20.1 Cinnamon. It has come with a Tuxedo keyboard and LED backlit keys. The special Fn-keys to control the keyboard LEDs function as they should. But alas, the 'betterlock' applet does not work. There is no way to parametrize it, it does not show where it should on the bottom of the screen. Therefore, there is no way to tell if the numeric pad is on, or if the upper case are locked. Is there something I can do to help resolve the problem? Is there an error log somewhere I could send along? Sorry for the bad english used, it is not my own language. Thank you, Pierre

Thank you! I like the notification options and the fact that you can disable them if you want.

I propose these modifications for the french translation : "Verrouillage Numérique et Vérrouillage Majuscules" -> "Verrouillage numérique et verrouillage majuscules" "Verrouillage Numérique uniquement" -> "Verrouillage numérique uniquement" "Verrouillage Majuscules uniquement" -> "Verrouillage majuscule uniquement" or "Verrouillage des majuscules uniquement"

Ok as expected. :-)

Doesn't work with Barrier app, but that is due to a bug with Barrier

hi can you add scroll lock too? Mint already comes with on-screen indicators when caps & num lock are toggled & many keyboards also have LEDs for those, but there's zero support for any kind of scroll lock indicator anywhere that I've found. the only way I know to test when it's on or off is by going into open office calc & seeing how the scrolling behaves. please help thank you

Hello, there! Is there any chance to hide the icon when is off instead of showing gray? Thanks!

Some 2019 laptops, like my Acer Aspire 5, come with no LED indicator to let the user know when CAPS/NUM/SCROLL LOCK is on or off. Comes this amazing applet to save the day! I'm really glad this Cinnamon applet is a thing. Good job!

Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon - всё отлично

The best NUM LOCK and CAPS LOCK key indicator !! Congratulations for the great work! Do you have any plans to develop something similar for Gnome, especially with the Ubuntu distro?

So helpful. I have a generic keyboard and the light isn't responding well, this applet helps me a lot.

There is something magical about this applet. I just stare at the icon and keep hitting the caps lock button. Light turns on, light turns off, light turns on, light turns off, light turns on, light turns off, light turns on, light turns off, light turns on, light turns off, light turns on, light turns off, light turns on, light turns off, :) , :(, :) , :(, :) , :(, :) , :(, :) , :(, :) , :(, :) , :(, :) , :(, :) , :(, :) , :(, :) , :(, :) , :(, happy, sad, happy, sad.............

useful

Better than indicator-keylock ;)

Functions as advertised!

Nice and useful applet - especially on laptops missing corresponding leds, thank you!

Hello, thank you very much for such a useful tool. And thank you for changing the light grey to a stronger one, too. Anyway, I have another feature request. What about an option that makes the app beep on changes of the Caps/Num Lock status? Since I don't watch the right top or bottom corner while writing. So I would appreciate such a feature very much! Thank you! Demal

works as expected

Thanks for this very useful applet. However, in a light gray panel it's very difficult to see the difference when it' on or off. Is there a way I could customize it (a css tweak maybe) to make it a little darker when num/caps are active? Thanks!
