Description m.wege 2011-10-06 22:10:11 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.1) 
OS:                Linux

It would be nice, if KDE would have On-Screen-Display of for Wireless on/off, 3G on/off, GPS on/off and (un)docking when changing them via keyboard short-cuts.

Reproducible: Didn't try



Expected Results:  
It would be nice if KDE had those OSDs.
Comment 1 m.wege 2011-10-18 08:28:29 UTC
There should be also a set of OSDs for switching between different screen configurations via shortcut: 
- External: Only external screen used
- Internal: Only internat screen used
- Clone: One screen is cloned
- Extentended: Both screens show different content.

I agree, this is a valid usecase for when the wireless/bluetooth are disabled using an external button, will try to implement.

Sorry for the delay :/

We already have the OSD service for things like volume, brightness, keyboard layout, so usually things that happen in response to a keyboard shortcut. Usability: what do you think about these suggestions? I could also imagine providing feedback when you eg press media shortcuts to pause a track and so on.

BTW, I saw DBus method related to OSD for keyboard layout; but it seems like Plasma desktop doesn't use it. Am I missing something?

It does here, when I press Ctrl+Alt+K to switch layouts.

Oh! Surprise. Works for me as well.
Apparently it works only with "Alternative shortcut", but doesn't work with xkb_group:ctrl_shift_toggle (the "Ctrl+Shift" main shortcut option in layouts KCM).
Should I fill a new bugreport then? I guess the logic can be changed (from "show OSD on shortcut" to "show OSD on layout change")

That issue is fixed in Wayland.
