Hello Ali,
I use kbdd + setxkbmap for switching layouts with a shortcut. Add the
following line to your autorun section of Awesome (or to .xinitrc):
setxkbmap -layout 'us,ru' -variant ',winkeys' -option
grp:alt_shift_toggle -option compose:ralt
Change "ru" to the layout you want. This command will also set your
Right Alt to act as a compose key (so you can type nice things like ©®™å
by holding Right Alt and pressing "o" and "c" for example).
Regards,
Alexander

hi,
I wonder if anyone has a working way to set the keyboard leyout per
client. I tried using xxkb which was suggested in the wiki[1], but it
couldn't remember the layout for applications probably due to this
bug[2]. So I tried kbdd which is explained in the wiki[3], and it was
the only thing that worked but I couldn't use the shortcut alt + shift
to change the keyboard. sometimes the shortcut works, sometimes
doesn't and this is pretty much annoying. changing the shortcuts using
the mouse buttons seemed to be working as expected.
so, if anyone has any advice I really appreciate it.
