Distribution

Package version

Cinnamon 6.2.9

Bug description

Pressing the Scroll Lock button on the keyboard does not toggle the scroll lock light.

Steps to reproduce

Press the Scroll Lock button.

Expected behavior

Each time the Scroll Lock button is pressed the scroll lock light should toggle between being on and off.

Additional information

From https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/164247/how-can-i-use-the-scroll-lock-key-to-toggle-the-back-light-on-my-keyboard

  1. Open Terminal
  2. Type xset q | grep -q 'Scroll Lock: off' && xset led named 'Scroll Lock' || xset -led named 'Scroll Lock'

Partial fix so that the light works; however, does not work on restarting operating system.

Additionally, have not checked that it works with Wayland.

Can this feature please be enabled by default, resistant on system restart, and (if required) works on Wayland?

Thank you
