Hi,

I have a small issue for quite a while which I can't find a fix for
it, and I would like to ask you if you have any suggestion before I
submit it to the xorg people...

Anyone who uses any rich text editor in Linux (which has keyboard
shortcut), probably had this problem: you're typing text in hebrew,
and then when you want to underline of bold a text for example, you
have to change the language (alt shift in my case), and only then you
can use the shortcut (CTRL U, CTRL B etc..)

In Windows, there is no such a problem: when you press the CTRL key,
as long as the key is pressed, you're in English mode. In X, you can
press CTRL, but you'll still be in the language you were a second ago,
and until you'll switch the language, you cannot use the shortcut
keys.

After playing a lot, the best I could find using setxkbmap, was:
setxkbmap -option grp_led:scroll,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp:rctrl_switch
- but still, the right CTRL key doesn't do the trick, and there is no
left CTRL to switch to US while key is being pressed..

Any suggestions?

Hetz
