Uh, it was done years ago. Look at the xset(1) manual page -- there are
options there to turn on key-click. They've been there since before the
millennium as I recall. Most people find key-click intensely annoying (e=
ven
more so if it's on someone else's machine) so it's turned off by default.=
As it's an X windows thing, it should be available on any OS where you ca=
n
run an X server, so any Linux or FreeBSD. Of course, you will need some =
sort
of speaker in the machine to generate the noises, but that can be very
rudimentary. If your machine can emit a beep, then it can probably do
key click too.
Cheers,
Matthew
