[xmonad] Caps lock, togeter with ledmod in xmobar

[Christer Eriksson]

Hi,

I am in the progress of configurating xmobar togheter with Xmonad and so far
it is going really good thanks to the help from xmonad web resources.


I am using Archlinux.

But now I am stuck.

I have added Keyboard LED Indication, following [url=
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Config_archive/John_Goerzen%27s_Configuration/]John<http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Config_archive/John_Goerzen%27s_Configuration/%5DJohn>
Goerzen's[/url]
excelent guide.


Installed "ledmon" from AUR and added in xmonad.hs
[code]
, Run CommandReader "/usr/bin/ledmon" "LED"

, template = "%StdinReader% }{ <fc=#ffff00>%LED%</fc> %cpu% | %memory% *
%swap%    <fc=#ee9a00>%date%</fc> | %EGPF%"
       }
[/code]

Keyboard LED indication works great.

The problem is that I from time to time want to enter Swedish caracters and
for the reason switch to se keymap.

I did that according to Archlinux wiki about X.

in /etc/X11/xorg.conf i added.


[code]
    Option                 "XkbLayout" "us, se"
    Option                 "XkbOptions" "grp:caps_toggle"
[/code]

I can now easily toggle keyboard layout using caps lock.

However I do not get a indication in xmobar that caps lock is on. That would
be great to se.

Any idea on how to accomplies this?



Thank you.


Best regards,
/Christer
