Hello !
I would like to understand how keyboard layouts are switched by the Trinity. More
precise:
1) what happening when user clicks on the flag icon? Some external program called or some
TDE process communicates
with X-server (and how)? 2) what part of Trinity source code do I have to read to
understand it? 3) is it possible
to send some D-Bus message (or something similar) to emulate user's click on flag
icon and/or select particular
language from the list of available keyboard layouts? 4) the same as #3, but vice versa:
can an external program
ask TDE "what keyboard do we have right now"? 5) If answer to #3 is
"NO", is there any chance for a patch doing it
to be included into TDE ? 6) What is the situation with questions #3 & #4 in the
"mainstream window managers" (like
KDE, Gnome) nowadays ?
Hi Ilya,
here are some answers to your points.
1 & 2) the "flag icon" is displayed by a program call "kxkb".
Start from there if you want to have a look at the code.
You can find in tdebase/kxkb.
3) TDE uses DCOP, not D-Bus. You can use DCOP to change the active keyboard. Try KDCOP for
easy to use DCOP client.
Looks under kxkb->kxkb->setLayout
4) same as 3) but use kxkb->kxkb->getCurrentLayout
5) patches and contributions of any kind are always welcome :-)
6) no idea, perhaps try asking on their forum ;-)
cheers
Michele
