 |
|
Hi there.
switching from gnome to fluxbox, i'm looking for a nice keyboard layout manager. something like gnome-keyboard-properties. What i basically need is a shortcut to switch from my danish keyboard layout to an english one, that i'm using for programming.
I've tried to call gnome-keyboard-properties --apply or --init-session-settings from the .fluxbox/startup file, assuming that (1 of) those options would make the keyboard-manager quietly apply it's settings and exit again, but it doesn't. It launches the settings UI, and stops the rest of fluxbox-stuff from loading.
Calling 1 of those commands from er terminal gives:
| Code: |
kroyeren@Illana ~ $ gnome-keyboard-properties --apply
(gnome-keyboard-properties:8079): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_param_spec_flags: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_FLAGS (flags_type)' failed
(gnome-keyboard-properties:8079): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_class_install_property: assertion `G_IS_PARAM_SPEC (pspec)' failed
|
It launches the interface for adding keyboards etc, but doesn't apply settings and exit.
Using gnome as WM gives same result (but obviously gnome uses it by default...)
Am i missing something, or do i really just want to use another tool for managing keyboard layouts? |

You could try something simpler, like x11-apps/setxkbmap, and edit your user menu file:
| Code: |
[submenu] (Keyboards)
[exec] (en) {setxkbmap en}
[exec] (fr) {setxkbmap fr}
[end]
