Description Maciej Pilichowski 2009-07-26 21:50:05 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.96)

Currently there is no at all serious visual feedback on switch -- there is icon in the systray, but if entire panel is not visible (not that rare) user has no clue which layout is active (or if it was switched by accident).

So please add option to display OSD info (like):
[ru] russian

where [ru] is russian flag. So when user switch layout she/he would see for sure what the layout is. And at that point it would make sense to add keyboard shortcut not for switch (there is already such shortcut) but for show this OSD only (w/o switch). Reason -- after getting back to computer to ensure what layout is active.
