SYNOPSIS

gled

DESCRIPTION

gled is part of the ledcontrol package, which allows you to show arbitrary information on the normally-unused keyboard LEDs. gled functions as a graphical front-end for ledcontrol(1) allowing users to easily test different commands. Its use should be quite intuitive and most text labels include tooltips to help you get along.

USAGE

The different commands available in ledd will not be explained in detail here, see ledd(8) for details on them. This section covers some of the functionality common to all command types.

The tabs

By choosing different tabs on the top of the window you choose what kind of command you want to give.

LEDs to use

Here you can choose on what LEDs the command will be tested on. The highest priority level (9) is always used. This is not applicable for animations.

Current command

The text entry on the bottom always shows the current command. You can also write or paste a command into it, whence it will be parsed. If the current command is incomplete or otherwise invalid, the text Bad command will appear at the bottom of the window.

Test

Clicking on Test will set the current command using ledcontrol(1). Only applicable if command is valid.

Auto

When Auto is toggled the command will be written with ledcontrol(1) every time a change is made in the UI.

Try it. Experiment with it. Have fun.
