If this were another DE, I wouldn’t even think of requesting this feature.
But since it’s KDE, I have a suggestion for a very nice feature - mechanical keyboard emulated sounds for simple and laptop keyboards.
If anyone is aware of a lightweight program available currently for the same, do let me know. It must run in the background and not have a heavy web-based UI (talking of Keyboard Sounds Pro)
pactl upload-sample /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/bell.oga bell
sudo evtest /dev/input/event2 | grep --line-buffered "value 1$" | while read -r line; do
pactl play-sample bell&
done
Run sudo evtest to determine what to replace event2.
I have some limited keyboard sounds - mostly started when I changed my settings for capslock and such like.
I have a couple of sounds - one is a ‘latch’ for engaging the lock, and another ‘unlatch’ for disengaging, then a short click for modifier/Meta keys.
You can find these in notifications - but apart from that, the previous answer seems promising.
tried setting up sounds for those events under Accessibility
but no sounds are played when i use the capslock or press/release a modifier key.
it doesn’t display a popup notation either, even after a re-log.
is there something else you did to enable those sounds?
These seem to be tied to this option in Accessibility (with the “Configure Notifications…” going to the same modal).
If I check both boxes, this also gives me a popup ‘The Caps Lock key is now inactive’ along with the sound.
I linked a few of these sounds to my home folder and added them from there. This one’s ~/Audio/Alerts-home/Sticky-Keys-OFF.opus.ogg.
Some good ones here:
good catch, thanks for that tip.
tried checking the box tho, and no change until after i relogged.
now it’s working as expected.
thanks, archived for future reference… good collection.
