Fairly often, I find myself writing with the hardware keys and I realise I have no idea whether I'm in lowercase, UPPERCASE, Titlecase, Function shift/fn lock is on

Is there a way to enable a small indicator somewhere to be maybe:

abc
Abc
ABC
fn (the blue keys)
FN

when I'm writing with the physical keys?

I agree !!!

It's probably one of the most feature needed actually.

Maybe a LED color for each one would be a good idea?

I agree that the missing indicator often causes problems. This bug/enhancement is listed in Bugzilla as:

Feel free to vote for it.

The led idea sounds like a great idea!

i agree with this, either with the LED, or in the bar at the top would be ideal!

FN lock led indicator:

Download this package and install it: http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/n90...+0m5_armel.deb
(source patch is in the same directory).

Download this module http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/n90...leds-lp5523.ko and replace the one in /lib/modules/current (better keep the original). See here for source: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=44267

reboot

After each reboot run as root the command:

chmod a+w /sys/class/leds/lp5523:a/brightness

Now the red led is fn lock indicator. It runs at low brightness when fn is sticky and brighter when it is locked.
