I have set up XKB as per the IGLU FAQ: http://iglu.org.il/faq/cache/86.html, but I seem to have missed something. Both OO 1.1 and Word (under cxoffice) will switch direction, but will not type hebrew unless I also use the two shift toggle.
System: Debian Sarge, Xfree86 4.2.1, Wmaker 0.80
Any pointers?
Actually: They will not type Hebrew unless X gives them Hebrew
characters from the keyboard.
I figure that you have the option grp:shift_toggle , which toggles the current group when you press both shifts.
In XKB terminology a "Layout" can have multiple "Groups". Those Groups are what is normally referred to as "layouts" in many other terminologies.
Changing a layout is a costly operation. Changing a group requires basically one message. WindowMaker, for instance, has an option of per-window Group toggling. Implementing this with Layouts would have made switching between windows a potentially expensive operation.
If I understand correctly the following: Option "XkbOptions" "grp:switch,grp:shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll" Or Option "XkbOptions" "grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
Are not the optimal way to switch languages.
What whould be the optimal way to change the language, that would be compatible with OO or CXOffice?
