Hi Mohsen,
The { Mod1 }, Shift_R stand for the Alt modifier plus the Shift key, but
the right one, not the left one.
To make sure that the right keys are detected, you can use the xev program
(see the ArchLinux wiki page
<https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/extra_keyboard_keys#In_Xorg>for a
quick guide). You can also add a notification in your switch function to
see if it is called :
kbdcfg.switch = function ()
naughty.notify({text = "Keyboard layout switch"})
kbdcfg.current = kbdcfg.current % #(kbdcfg.layout) + 1
local t = " " .. kbdcfg.layout[kbdcfg.current] .. " "
kbdcfg.widget.text = t
os.execute( kbdcfg.cmd .. t )
end
Just a question : after defining your awful.key (your key binding, which
is, moreover, defined twice), did you add it to root.keys ?
