... 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 askeyboard layout, I have to click on the icone to get spanish keyboard.
When kxkb is not used, the keyboard is allways américan. Americankeyboard is nice but I need metacharacters! Is there a way to get metacaracters with us keyboard?
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
Hi E., and thank you, This looks good. I just wonder if an unused key is available,here. "Scroll Lock" is used to toggle a hard devise switching keyboard, mouse and screen from one computer to another. Only Wikipedia knows what are the keys used by KDE3/TDE :-) I'll try when some of the pebbles in the shoe will be away…
Other options the GUI makes available for compose keys are: Caps Lock, either CTRL, Alt, or Win key, Pause, PrnScr, or greater than/less than. Most of these, along with several two-key combinations, are also available for layout switching. I expect you'll be able to find something that suits.
Good luck with the other problems.
