Switch keyboard layout

[helland]

Hi!

Need help. I use russian and English keyboard layouts. On my Windows PC I switched between them using Ctrl+Shift. But in Kubuntu have to click on the flag to switch. Please help me to create a shortcut

Thanks in advance!

Re: Switch keyboard layout

Have you tried: K > System Settings > Regional&Language > Keyboard Layout => |Layout-tab| click "Enable keyboard layouts" and |Xkb Options-tab| click "Enable xkb options" + "Ctrl+Shift change layout"

<<<Modifying>>>
And that was the Kubuntu (7.10) Gutsy Gibbon with the KDE 3.5.8.

Re: Switch keyboard layout

There is no section about layouts there! Also no such option

Hmm - what version are you using ?

Older version could have keyboard layouts in the Control Center: Press ALT + F2 and type kcontrol -> CC Starts > Regional&Accessibility > Keyboard Layout...

or in the konsole:

kcmshell keyboard_layout

MULTIPLE KEYBOARDS:
You can use setxkbmap to do it. For example, to load 3 keyboards - english, german and italian (us, de, it) and to switch between them using BOTH SHIFTS, run this:

setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:shift_toggle us,de,it

+

I use russian and English keyboard layouts. On my Windows PC I switched between them using Ctrl+Shift.

=>
In the konsole:

setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:ctrl_shift_toggle ru,us

Is this working ?


more man setxkbmap
