Hi !
I defined two keyboard layouts in fresh installed TDE under Debian Stable (jessie): one for Finnish and one for Russian keyboard. I did it via "Trinity Control Center --> Regional and accessibility --> Keyboard Layout --> Layout". So now I can switch the keyboard by clicking the ru/fi flag symbol in the panel. How can I define a keyboard shortcut to switch it? On some old machines with TDE I somehow managed it, but now I just can't. Whatever I click in the "Switching Options" or "Xkb Options" --- nothing works, the only way to switch keyboard is the mouse click.
Please explain, how I can do it just by TDE configuration.
Thanks!

Hi - the The Kxkb Handbook, Troubleshooting section specifies Ctrl+Alt+k to switch keyboard layout. It works in my TDE. - Robert

Yes indeed, and when using non Latin layout (I use BG) the "k" does not work. Perhaps this is the issue OP has.
What I do is redefine the shortcut to CTRL+ALT+"right arrow" - this way you can switch from within cyrillic layout. I use DE,EN,BG,RU.
I was thinking to open bug years ago when TDE was still KDE :) and never got so far :)
