You should be able to set a layout-switch hotkey through xkb directly.
The options used to be under Keyboard Layout -> Xkb Options in
the Control Center, or you can call setxkbmap from the command line.
You can also set a compose key this way, which will let you type
characters with accents and other diacritics using a US keyboard layout.
For instance, my system has Scroll Lock set as a compose key,
so if I want to type n-tilde (ñ), the corresponding key sequence is
Scroll Lock, ~, n. The corresponding setxkbmap command would
be: setxkbmap -option compose:sclk
...
An other (XOrg?) problem: after a new window has been open, I have
to click 2 times on the kxkb (supposed) icon in the taskbar to change the
flag to american, then back to spanish, so that the keyboard is properly
interpreted as Spanish. Note that the toggeling rule (Règle de
basculement) was "Global". I try now to configure it to have only the
spanish option, and will tell you later if it changed anything.

Hi all,
It does not work! When there is only the spanish possibility as
keyboard layout, I have to click on the icone to get spanish keyboard.
When kxkb is not used, the keyboard is allways américan. American
keyboard is nice but I need metacharacters! Is there a way to get
metacaracters with us keyboard?
