(Get the code!)
Alberto, the original functionality of this settings in 12.04 is:
- user sets up two keyboard layouts, eg. "English (US)" and some local layout
- user choose which LED (or even LEDs) to use (see attached to bug screenshot)
- from now on while the first layout is selected ("English (US)" from example), the LED if off; while the second layout is selected (some local from example) - the LED is ON
The typical usage (for me) is to set Caps Lock as layout switch key (original Caps Lock function in this case will be automatically remapped to Shift+Caps Lock) and set Caps Lock LED as layout Indicator (with the setting from screenshot). (Also the same approach for Scroll Lock, but this key/LED is much less common for notebooks.)
