How can I make LUKS show me the number of characters I'm entering when unlocking my drive?
It's kind of buggy where I'll enter characters but they won't register. I can verify this because when booting, sometimes my num and caps lock keys will have a delay after pressing before their light changes.
This is very annoying when trying to unlock the computer, because I essentially have to wait an arbitrary amount of time before I think inputs will register properly. This wouldn't be as much of an issue if I could, you know, get some feedback that they keys I'm entering are actually being entered.
Is there a way to change this to suit my needs better?

to help with this, as it presents a different way to unlock a LUKS partition. Your mileage may vary since im not sure which OS you're on.wiki.archlinux.org/title/Mkini…
