fbxkb the keyboard applet for Xorg on TC 2.0

(1/1)

Hi,

I have done frugal install of TC 2.0 today and added Xorg, gtk2 with all dependencies and added fbxkb.

The applet is working well on TC 2.0 but before running it one has to add the required lines to xorg.conf for the keyboard layouts. Alternatively following command may also be used:

--- Quote ---setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:shifts_toggle,grp_led:scroll us,de,it
--- End quote ---
which will load english, german and italian keyboard. This is just an example. Replace us, de, it by the codes of the keyboard layouts required by you.

If some variant of the keyboard is to be used the command will change to:

--- Quote ---setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:shifts_toggle,grp_led:scroll 'us,ru(phonetic)'
--- End quote ---
which will load us and russian (phonetic variant).
