Hello, I'm a user who needs to switch seamlessly between Russian and English keyboard layouts. I prefer the USA Alternate-International layout and the standard Russian layout. Usually I simply use the xkb GUI tool to accomplish this, but I just switched my system over to LXDE (it's a new system, 2.1GHz processor with 1GB of RAM, I just want to give LXDE a good try and another user, and on my older system with 500MB RAM and 1.6GHz it made everything REALLY noticeably faster), and there is no more Xkb tool. Therefore I am doing what I did before I discovered the GUI tool on xfce and having this script run at startup:
It works, but I would REALLY prefer to be using the USA Alternate-International layout instead of the standard US layout (it makes it easier to type accents in French/English). I would also like to have the toggle between layouts to be activated by just hitting the ******* key (start key) as I did when using the Xkb GUI tool in xfce instead of having to hold down two keys (left Alt and Shift).#!/bin/sh
setxkbmap -option grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll us,ru
So does anyone know the layout code for USA Alternate-International, AND how I could make this activate every time I hit the ******* key?
Thank you in advance for all the replies! (I hope I get some)
