Description Aurélien Oudelet (auroud85_fr) 2021-01-10 19:18:56 UTC 
SUMMARY
There is no option in sddm-kcm to activate Numlock feature in sddm-kcm.

OBSERVED RESULT
Actually, users must add "Numlock=On" in /etc/sddm.conf or add a dropping-file
10.Numlock.conf (in /etc/sddm.conf.d/) with this content:

[General]
Numlock=On

EXPECTED RESULT
A toggle in sddm-KCM to activate it.

Comment 1 Aurélien Oudelet (auroud85_fr) 2021-01-11 09:01:59 UTC 
Nevermind.

I didn't see the "sync settings" option...
I do think this should be more explicit than a sync button and a pretty obscure
text where numlock is mentioned.
In French, it is mentioned at the 5th place between Plasma theme and cursors...

I think the real issue is that settings should be synced by default on single-user systems because nobody can ever find this feature. :)
