I'm not really sure on the label "Show OSD" as that may not be
clear to user what it is, better ideas?

Does it make sense to add an option for this to the plasmoid? If there is a need to disable osds, shouldn't we rather do it globally and disable all osd?
I think there already is global option to disable OSD, but I think it makes sense to just disable OSD for volume. Also kmix has this option and there are users that want it.
I'm not sure. Where's the difference to screen brightness or changing keyboard layout? Why does audio volume need a dedicated option for it?
Anyway please add VDG to the review.
I agree with Martin: Either people want to see an OSD when changing a parameter using the keyboard, or they don't.
Like Martin, I don't see why someone would want an OSD when changing screen brightness with the keyboard, but not when changing volume.
Would it be possible to link to the KCM where OSDs can be configured from the volume applet settings? That would make it easier for people who are only annoyed by the volume OSD to find the setting...
See https://phabricator.kde.org/D1770 and https://phabricator.kde.org/D1771
What I could imagine is having a list of check boxes there:
"Show visual feedback for:"
- [ ] Volume change
- [ ] Brightness change
- etc
but then I don't think we should do that.
How about we keep it as one option and only add more fine-grained controls of users demand it?
If we want to do fine-grained options right away, it should be hidden behind an "Advanced" expander (see https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/HIG/Settings ), since it's only a corner-case which can be safely ignored by most users.
