I'm not looking for a panel applet, but something that throws the state onto the screen for a second or so. I thought lineakd and xosd might do it, but I can't figure out how to get it to respond to caps lock. There are various other utilities, but they all seem panel or krell based. Is there a way I can run a generic command when caps lock is pressed? thanks :) -- Iain Buchanan R&D Phone: 138
