Looks like it's harder than expected:
xprop -root -f _XKB_RULES_NAMES 8s -set _XKB_RULES_NAMES "xfree86,..."
Now two pieces are still missing:
- Why on eath do we need to set the property type if it is
already known?
- How can I set it to be the correct string (I tried
various combinations and the quotes still don't look ok).
While searching for answer I bumped into an easy solution of the
original problem -- quoting from the setxkbmap(1) manual:
If you want only specified options will be setted use
-option flag with empty argument first.
So the original poster should run:
setxkbmap -option '' -option grp:switch,grp:shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll il
However the new interesting question still remains. How can I
manipulate correctly the value of this (and maybe other)
complex properties:
- What is it's structure (looks like it's a sequence of
strings and not a single string)
- How can I instruct xprop(1x) to set such a property
Anyone?
