KDE group switching

[ilia_kr]

In gnome, i use shift+alt to switch keyboard layouts. This option doesn't work in KDE (both on Mandriva 2007.1 and PCLos) even though i've enabled it:

 

How can i make it work?

Thanks.

I never use the KDE/Gnome keyboard applets... they are always unloaded.

I prefer switching keyboard layouts via the x-server configuration.

 

Section "InputDevice"
# generated from default
Identifier	 "Keyboard0"
Driver		 "kbd"
Option "XkbRules"	"xorg"
Option "XkbModel"	"pc105"
Option "XkbLayout"	"us,el"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
Option "XkbVariant" ",extended"
EndSection

 

Works fine for me, independently of the DE I'm using.

For my virtual machines I use the same approach, but there I use ctrl+shift to toggle.

I use Ctrl-Alt-K in KDE to toggle keyboards, I think that was just the KDE default. I understand you want the same for Gnome & KDE, but it might be worth trying Ctrl-Alt-K just to see if it works.

See, i use to chat with my friends on 2 different languages simultaneously, so it could be really annoying to switch using 3 keys.

I'll try though what scarecrow suggested.

For some reason, it didn't work. Oh, and if i use Ctrl-Alt-K - it works only one way, because after i switch, "k" is no more "k" ...
