Hi Peter
after upgrading to R14.1.0 I miss the old way of
switching between keyboard layouts with Ctrl+Alt+K.
It is something we unfortunately missed at first and we have already identified this to be
a problem.
Slavek and I have been discussing the same problem, so we will see how we can put back a
way to let the user choose a
fully custom TDE shortcut (like Ctrl+Alt+K).
Is there any way to revert back to the original
keyboard shortcut for switching the keyboard layout?
For the time being, the best you could probably do is to have a small script to switch the
keyboard layout and use an
Input action tighten to Ctrl+Alt+K to run the script. You can use dcop to get the list of
available layouts, the current
layout and set a new layout, so it should be relatively straightforward to come up with
something working
In addition, the keyboard model setting apparently
stopped working, in my case "Dell Latitude
laptop" - some functions no longer work, e.g. Fn+F1 (for sleep) or Fn+F5 (for
touchpad toggle) or
Fn+Arrows (for brightness level). Everything worked for over a decade before the
upgrade.
Uhm.... there isn't any specific change that would make this stop working. The
keyboard sends keycode and TDE use them.
Maybe you are missing some package after the upgrade? Not sure about your distro, but look
for example for something
with kmilo in its name.
Cheers
