[Solved] keyboard settings in settings editor (numlock=on setting)

Hi,

i accidently deleted the default setting in the settings editor under keyboard, which turns on the numlock.
Settings -> Settings Editor -> Keyboards

Now I wonder what are the allowed values here? How do I get the nomlock = on back?

Thanks
Chris

"Restore num lock state on startup"?
Its a boolean value, either true or false. The property name is "RestoreNumlock".

I also have a "Numlock" property there. Its also a boolean.

If you've deleted them, you can manually re-create them via:

xfconf-query -c keyboards -p /Default/RestoreNumlock -n -t bool -s true
xfconf-query -c keyboards -p /Default/Numlock -n -t bool -s true

More info on xfconf-query here.
