Can't quit or stop screenkey.

Tried sudo killall screenkey

Nothing in the --help menu so far as I can tell.

Ubuntu 17.10 (Wayland)

From the systray, there is a "quit" entry.

Because you have no tray, or? If you're using unity, you might need the python-appindicator package.

If not, start "screenkey -d" from the terminal and see if any error message is printed.

Finally, "pkill -f screenkey" will kill screenkey (screenkey is part of the arguments, the actual process name is just python).

Alternatively, use "screenkey --no-detach" to manage the pid manually.

It's GNOME since unity died in 17.10. I'll open a new ticket for that.

$ ./screenkey -d
DEBUG:Screenkey:file /home/[USER]/.config/screenkey.json does not exists.
DEBUG:Screenkey:Restarting LabelManager.
DEBUG:Screenkey:Thread started.
DEBUG:Screenkey:Using StatusIcon.

pkill -f screenkey worked - thanks.
