Guest oberon Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 Could anybody help me find how keyboard layout can be switched in Red Hat 9? Well, I know that I can do it through System Settings - Keyboard menu. But I mean the situation when writing a text I need to quickly change between a latin and non-latin keyboards. In Windows I can use <Ctrl>-<Shift>, for example, to do this. Is there anything like this in Red Hat? Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest oberon Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 Well, I am using GNOME right now but might try KDE also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oberon Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 Sorry, this was a question which is definitely not interesting for most people here :roll: But I am close to the solution of it, and the solution is quite general: it is to edit XF86Config file. Perhaps you could advise me how to do it properly? I found a variant how to set the switch for a Russian keyboard: Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "ru" Option "XkbVariant" "winkeys" Option "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll" I tried to find an information about all the options which can be used in this file. man pages a very brief, they say nothing about these xkb* thingies.

Guest oberon Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 No, no, everything ios much simpler - just for someone who might bee looking for this kind of information. The keyboard switcher can be found between GNOME's applets and just put onto the panel - as easy as 1-2-3! And in KDE they say the way to switch keyboard is <Ctrl>-<Alt>-K, but I didn't try that yet.
