Hi Mohsen,

Frome here, I don't see any particular error in your code or anything. But maybe you can start by remove some useless parts which can interact with others or whatever.

Firstly, in your xorg.conf file, remove the line :

> Option "XkbOptions" "grp:shifts_toggle"

I commented at xorg.

This line, allow you to switch layouts with the shift keys, but without any interaction with Awesome (so your widget will not be updated), it's not what you want, but it can interfere.

Then, as you define your layout in the xorg.conf file, you don't need to use

> setxkbmap us,fa

in your xinit.rc file. When X starts, it reads the xorg.conf file and so this line is useless.

I remove it from ~/.xinitrc

Finally, you say that you can't change to persian language, but I see 3 layouts in your kbdcfg.layouts. Can you change between us and fa, but not to Persian, or you can't change at all. In both cases, try to execute manually the commands in your terminal, maybe setxkbmap will report you an error (missing the -layout option, unrecognized layout name, etc.).

Just to finnish ; it's now recommended to not use the xorg.conf file, but the xorg.conf.d/ folder with one file for each device.

Hopping that it will help you.

Regards,

Alexis

Dear all,

I migrate to awesome, But may be awesome depend on X, At first i provided xorg.conf with:
Xorg -configure

Then i changed InputClass such as :
///////////////////////////////////
   Section "InputClass"
       Identifier      "keyboard0"
       Driver          "evdev"
       #MatchIsKeyboard "on"
       Option     "XkbModel"    "evdev"
       # Switch between layouts by pressing both shift keys
       Option     "XkbLayout"   "us,fa"
       Option     "XkbOptions"  "grp:shifts_toggle"
   EndSection
////////////////////////////////
Then :
cp /etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua ~/.config/awesome/
Add the following change to it:
//////////////////////////////////////////////////
-- Keyboard map indicator and changer
    kbdcfg = {}
    kbdcfg.cmd = "setxkbmap"
    kbdcfg.layout = { "us", "fa", "Persian" }

I change abobe line to :
kbdcfg.layout = { "us", "fa"}

    kbdcfg.current = 1 -- us is our default layout
    kbdcfg.widget = widget({ type = "textbox", align = "right" })
    kbdcfg.widget.text = " " .. kbdcfg.layout[kbdcfg.current] .. " "
    kbdcfg.switch = function ()
       kbdcfg.current = kbdcfg.current % #(kbdcfg.layout) + 1
       local t = " " .. kbdcfg.layout[kbdcfg.current] .. " "
       kbdcfg.widget.text = t
       os.execute( kbdcfg.cmd .. t )
    end
   -- Alt + Right Shift switches the current keyboard layout
    awful.key({ "Mod1" }, "Shift_R", function () kbdcfg.switch() end),
    -- Mouse bindings
    kbdcfg.widget:buttons(awful.util.table.join(
        awful.button({ }, 1, function () kbdcfg.switch() end)
    ))
     -- end by me
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Also i add the folloiwoing section to layout:
/////////////////////////
right_layout:add(kbdcfg.widget)
//////////////////////////////////////////

Then i create a ~.xinitrc and pu into it:
//////////////////////////////////
#!/bin/sh
setxkbmap us,fa
///////////////////////////////
Also i put into the following code in rc.lua:
////////////////////////////////////////////
awful.key({ "Mod1" }, "Shift_R", function () kbdcfg.switch() end),
//////////////////////////////////////////////

I "have to" learn lua, But i don't know above line (define hot key,) What's key binding for changing layout?
mod+shift+R?
How can i find out which hotkey active is?

Where's my problem?
