Keylock indicator for Xfce panel

Question

Is there a keylock indicator applet for Xfce panel (preferably native to Xfce)?

I have almost switched to Xfce, except for this!

Answer 1

The keylock indicator plugin for Xfce4 "shows the state of your keyboard LEDs: Caps, Scroll and Num Lock in Xfce panel."

Installation instructions for Xfce4 keylock indicator plugin:

(Note: This works on Xfce versions 4.6 and 4.8. Xfce 4.10 uses a different version of the libxfce4ui widget library and I haven't tested this plugin with 4.10).

• Download the bzip file from here.

• Move to your download directory and unpack the files by running this command:

  • sudo tar -jxf xfce4-kbdleds-plugin-0.0.6.tar.bz2

• Change to the directory xfce4-kbdleds-plugin-0.0.6 and run:

  ./configure --prefix=/usr
   make 
  sudo make install
  

• Add the plugin to your panel

  -- The Add New Items dialogue can be opened by right clicking on empty space on a panel and going to Add New Items. If you right click on a space occupied by a panel plugin, you can access Add New Items by going to Panel → Add New Items. Source
