Frequently Asked Questions about fbxkb
Q1. How it knows what is current keyboard It asks X server Q2. How it knows what are alternative keyboardsIt asks X server Q3. Why I have no alternative keyboardsCouse your X server does not have them. Add them to it and fbxkb will update its view automatically. Q4. How can I add more keyboards to X serverYou can use setxkbmap to do it. For example, to load 3 keyboards - english, german and italian (us, de, it) and to switch betwean them using both shifts, run this: setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:shifts_toggle,grp_led:scroll us,de,it Alternatively, you can edit /etc/X11/XF86Config and restart X server, but any subsequent setxkbmap will overwrite those settings. Here is quote from my XF86Config Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru(phonetic)" Option "XkbOptions" "grp:shifts_toggle,grp_led:scroll" EndSection And same thing with setxkbmap setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:shifts_toggle,grp_led:scroll 'us,ru(phonetic)' |
