xkbsel is a framework for defining, selecting and
indicating XKB keyboard mappings, without the need
to modify X11 distribution in any way.
Don't expect too much in this phase - the amount
of testing is minimal.
xkbsel crash-course:
- read manual pages xkbsel(5), xkbseldb(1), xkbsel(1)
and xkbsel-aw(1) and /usr/local/etc/xkbsel.conf
for defining keyboards
- when you change /usr/local/etc/xkbsel.conf or any
of the maps, make as root
xkbseldb -R
- you can select and indicate the actual keyboard
using
xkbsel-aw
somewhere in your window manager startup scripts.
Check your window manager manual on how to remove
decorations or dock the application.
xkbsel-aw selects the first configured keyboard
for a locale and allows to change it by clicking
on the window and selecting from the menu.
- if correctly installed (you will probably need
to shuffle files from default /usr/local),
the KDE application finder should find the
keyboard selector. Simply start it to get
the docked selector/indicator.
- if correctly installed (you will probably need
to shuffle files from default /usr/local),
the xkbsel_gnome_applet should install itself
to the panel after first manual start.
- you can install calls of
xkbsel mapname
xkbsel --next
xkbsel --previous
as actions in your window manager
Enjoy
