Hello,
The layouts are working as needed now so i share it. It might be a
better solution of course.
It is the keyboard widget from awesome wiki but it passes the variant
qwerty when the layout is de and it shows the desired text (en, de, ελ)
instead of the layout name (us, de, el). It can be changed to pass
different variants and show whichever text on the widget!
-- Keyboard widget
kbdcfg = {}
kbdcfg.cmd = "setxkbmap"
kbdcfg.layout = { "us", "de", "el" }
kbdcfg.current = 1 -- us is our default layout
kbdcfg.widget = widget({ type = "textbox", align = "right" })
--kbdcfg.widget.text = " " .. kbdcfg.layout[kbdcfg.current] .. " "
kbdcfg.widget.text = " en "
kbdcfg.switch = function ()
kbdcfg.current = kbdcfg.current % #(kbdcfg.layout) + 1
local t = " " .. kbdcfg.layout[kbdcfg.current] .. " "
local v = "qwerty"
kbdcfg.widget.text = t
if t == " us " then
kbdcfg.widget.text = " en "
os.execute( kbdcfg.cmd .. t )
elseif t == " de " then
kbdcfg.widget.text = t
os.execute( kbdcfg.cmd .. t .. v )
elseif t == " el " then
kbdcfg.widget.text = " ελ "
os.execute( kbdcfg.cmd .. t )
end
end
