How to stop run the screenkey

Question

Once I found the software to show my typed keys here, I started to be in trouble because there's no turn-off button in the screen nor in its man, and it has been followed me to everywhere as

I could just ran sudo kill on the process but this means I'll be showing my sudo password.

I'm using Linux Mint 18.3, both solutions as a native command from ScreeKey or a way to show a turn-off button on Operational System Panel will help my problem.

You can exit from Screenkey by right-clicking on its status icon and selecting "Quit":

If you're using GNOME/Unity and cannot see any status icon please make sure the python-appindicator package is installed. Run the following inside a terminal to install as required:

sudo apt install python-appindicator

On any other desktop system Screenkey uses the regular system tray. If you don't have a systray or you cannot quit an existing Screenkey, use the following command in a terminal to kill it:

pkill -f screenkey

Dude, the status icon does not appear, even after the python-appindicator instaled and system reboot. However the pkill works to kill and not provide my pass, thank you – intmarinoreturn0 Aug 01 '18 at 23:29

First, install htop:

sudo apt-get install htop

Then, type htop on your terminal to enter the htop environment, then press F3 to search for screenkey, when you found it, press F9 to kill its process.
