Hi Roman, not sure what went wrong on your system, but I have attached a screenshot of what the keyboard layout XKbOption tab should look like. Plenty of options there, even if my /etc/default/keyboard file is just a few lines and pretty much empty (less than 10 lines). In Debian, no tdebase-related package writes in /etc/default/keyboard and moreover the settings for kxkb are stored in ~/.trinity/share/config/kxkbrc. Not sure what your distro is, but it seems the problem is something local to your own system, since so far no one else has reported problems with keyboard layout switching so far. Happy to look to further into this issue, if you can find out what is wrong and I can reproduce the problem here. Cheers Michele

In this case I could see that the key combinations were missing, exactly as in your screenshot. 3) I changed back the locale to en_US.UTF-8, rebooted and repeated the test. When TDE is switched to Ukrainian language, the key combinations are missing. 4) I installed the Russian language (assuming it is similar to Ukrainian language) and in such case the key combination are visible (see second screenshot). So it seems it is something related to the Ukrainian language translations. Hope this will point you into the right direction to fix it. Cheers Michele

I will look into the patch code in the coming week and do a selecting merging of the parts needed. For example, the "Modes" radio buttons are there for a specific reason, so they are going to stay. But the translation of "grp" doesn't make much sense so it makes sense not to translate that. Cheers Michele

Hi, Michele 13.05.23 09:36, Michele Calgaro via tde-users wrote: Look into the last patch where I have fixed-prevented of displaying an incorrect layout at the KXKB start (last one) due to KXKBApp::slotGroupChanged() can receive group number outside their whole count, 22 in my case. Also I removed from KXKB only the options reading, since it is used always with TDE Layouts.

Part of the patch has not been merged because it does not fit with the new functionality provided in R14.1.0, so if you want to keep using that you will need to handle that in your own local builds R14.1.1 will reintroduce the ability to set a TDE keyboard shortcut to change layout, as well as additional TDE shortcuts to change layouts in kbbswitch. Thanks for the original patch! Cheers Michele

For my interface, though, I like it to stay in my own language, so I can see how that would be really annoying. Since English is the default, however, I don't usually have to deal with such a mess, but I have sometimes had problems with locale. I might be way off here, as I have only been skimming over this thread, but I wondered, have you tried localepurge? Not sure that this is what you need, but removing unnecessary locales might help. Otherwise, I change my language settings in the Trinity Control Center first booting into TDE, where you can configure the Secure Attention Key, etc.) Bill P.S. Another user, Andre, in another thread, "Logout, deconnection, reboot window", mentioned problems with language settings in the user interface. I don't know if these could be related, or if these suggestions might apply to his case, but it sounded familiar to me.
