• Cuando abra la nueva ventana, aparecerá una ventana mas pequeña, y ahí haremos nuestro atajo, para hacerlo pondremos un nombre, yo coloqué: “Encender el teclado”. Luego debemos poner el comando que prende el teclado que es: xset led 3, todo en minúscula. Y finalmente colocar el atajo del teclado. En mi caso, yo coloqué las teclas: Crtl + L para prender y la tecla Crtl + P para apagar.

RECUERDA: los comandos son: Para encender el teclado: xset led 3.
Para apagar el teclado: xset led off.

Hi, recently, a friend, decided to switch from Windows to #Linux, and she chose Linux Mint, to make the change, which I thought was a very interesting decision.

And although she is comfortable, because she does not have to open the terminal to do some things, as happened the first time she tried to use Linux. It is also true, that there are certain situations that make him a little uncomfortable, since in Windows, they worked automatically and in #Linux they did not.

Among the things that bother him, this is having to be turning on the numeric keypad, every time he has to open the user session, and the second one he told me, is not being able to turn on the gamer keyboard, directly from a keyboard button.

So I told her, that in #Linux everything could be solved, and I told her that I was going to make this post to explain to her and to everyone who had a problem, how to solve it.

• The first thing we have to do is install the Numloc, and with this command, and after doing another step, we will be able to have our numeric keypad, activated, from the moment the work session starts.
  To install it, let's open the terminal and use the command: sudo apt install numlockx

• Then let's look for The Startup Window.

• After we open the startup window, a screen will appear, where we must put our root key. And once we put our password, a new window will open, and there, we are going to give the configuration tab, and when we enter, we are going to check in the upper right, the box to turn on the numeric keypad.

After doing this, the numeric keypad will be turned on, from the beginning of the session.

Turning the gamer keyboard on and off, with keyboard shortcuts.

---

To be able to turn on and off the gamer keyboard, without having to be putting commands in the terminal, what we must do is create two keyboard shortcuts, and with that we will solve the problem. Now let's get to it.

• The first thing we need to do is go to the start and open the keyboard.

• Once we are in the keyboard window, we will go to: Keyboard Shortcuts. See image.

• In keyboard shortcuts, we will give to: Add a shortcut. See image.

• When the new window opens, a smaller window will appear, and there we will make our shortcut, to do so we will put a name, I placed“ "Turn on the keyboard". Then we must put the command that turns on the keyboard which is: xset led 3, all in lowercase. And finally place the keyboard shortcut. In my case, I placed the keys: Crtl + L to turn on and the Crtl + P key to turn off.

REMEMBER: the commands are: To turn on the keyboard: xset led 3.
To turn off the keyboard: xset led off.
