Question: Since I switched to Ubuntu 12.04 I'd only missed one thing.

A program which could launch typewriter sounds while typing. For instance, in Windows I used this: <http://www.colorpilot.com/soundpilot.html> for a long time.

I learned then that this writing program: <http://gottcode.org/focuswriter/> had the sounds but only for the program itself.

However, sometimes I'm writing an email, writing on the web or doing more complex writing tasks in LibreOffice - all places where these long missed typing sounds don't apply.

Does any of you know of any plans in the community of the sound bit - typing sounds - as an independent program or applet to be fetched in the Ubuntu Software Center soon?

Answer: 
There are some implementations to play a sound for every keypress, one of them is "[keypress](https://github.com/chrelad/keypress)" on Github.com, made by Github user "[chrelad](https://github.com/chrelad)". It's a fork of [linux-typewriter](https://github.com/colszowka/linux-typewriter).

Instructions on how to set it up:

1. Open a terminal (`Ctrl`+`Alt`+`T`).
2. Install the package [python-xlib](http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/python-xlib).

```
sudo apt-get install python-xlib

```
3. Download the application:

```
wget -O keypress.tar.gz https://github.com/chrelad/keypress/tarball/master
tar xvfz keypress.tar.gz && cd chrelad*

```
4. Start it by executing

```
./keypress.py

```
5. Optional: You can change the sound by opening the file *keypress.py* with an editor and look out for the line that says

```
        os.system("aplay sounds/key01.wav")

```

Now change key01.wav to what you want it to sound like.

To restart it after the reboot:

1. Open a terminal.
2. Type: `cd chrelad* && ./keypress.py`

This is exactly what you want.
