Description Michael D 2018-06-18 12:42:01 UTC

I have enabled the "A lock key has been activated" notification (sound and popup) that works in an X session but which doesn't work in a wayland session unless an xwayland window is focused. I suppose this extends to other notifications, though I haven't checked.

Comment 1 Patrick Silva 2019-02-28 18:40:54 UTC

Here neither sound and popup work no matter if I use X11 or Wayland.

Comment 2 Patrick Silva 2019-03-07 03:13:20 UTC

Forget my previous comment.
I installed Accessibility kcm, enabled "Use KDE's system notification mechanism whenever a modifier or lock key changes its state" in "Modifier keys" tab and now I can confirm this behavior.
When I turn on numlock or caps lock while an app running natively on Wayland is focused, plasma does not show/play the notification.
When I switch to a window running on Xwayland, plasma shows/plays the notification immediately.
