I upgraded FC1 to FC4, and without any reconfiguration on my part,
the keyboard layout became window-specific instead of server-wide.
Display-wide, you mean.
No, window specific. You when you alt-tab (or mouse over for you
WindowMaker people), the keyboard layout/group automatically is changed
to whatever the target app was last used with, regardless of what the
source app was used with.
I remember that years ago Nadav Har'El fantasized about such an option. On my
Gnome it has been realized.
WindowMaker has had this since at least 0.60 .
And kxkb had this for the last 5 years. Its really such a shame on GNOME
users - having to use outdated technology and all ;-) Have you seen the
ground-breaking work the GNOME people are doing now with window managers
? I've had this on e basically since I started using Linux..
IIRC both kxkb and the WindowMaker thingy (can't recall its name) are
switching layouts. I'm currently using something called kkbswitch, which
changes groups so it works much better with the "new and improved"
XFree4.3 keyboard behavior. AFAIK it will work with any desktop env
which offers free-desktop systray support.
