Warn about caps lock when writing a password

[xisco.]

I think that emesene should show you a message like " Caps lock mode is turned on " if you are going to write the password and the cap lock is turned on.

i think you are mature enough to check by yourself on your keyboard

btw *wish*

yes, that's true, but maybe someone don't check it and think that his password is incorrect, the message is only to help. And if emesene is a clone of MSN messenger, emesene has to show the message because MSN messenger shows it.

and what if we don't want to clone stupid features?

"we" ! if you are one of the developers:

This is not a stupid feature, if you look around you, this feature is now implemented in all proper authentication systems including Linux GUI environments like GNOME.

If you guys do not like features suggestions you would better shutdown the development because this is how every project moves on.

You also have to use issue trackers properly because "wish" is not a proper priority. Use type enhancement and give it a proper priority.

Ok anon, i was just in evil mode, sorry. It's just that i don't like this feature, myself, but i left this open (instead of killing it with wontfix) if someone wanted to implement it. But not me.

Wish is a priority that we use for tickets that doesn't have any priority, that we could skip if nobody implements it, but still want to leave there. I added it because i don't like having highly-optional requests that we are unlikely to implement mixed with other minor priority tickets.

It may not be used properly, yes. I've been away from the tracker for a while.

Diff to add the requested feature to Login.py module

My proposed patch do this: When caps lock is enabled and you type in password box, a label with a warning is shown.

Replying to C10uD:

please add gettext support

gettext support? I don't understand. Please, specify.

I think he means the _("") function . Every string that is shown must be contained in that function to be translatable, so:
some_variable = "Warning, CAPS LOCK enabled"
becomes
some_variable = _("Warning, CAPS LOCK enabled")
