Michael,


I’ve been using slstatus for a while and am really enjoying it.


Thanks!


Was thinking of adding a patch to the current slstatus for a keymap
indicator component. Is it worth adding this feature now or later
after the release as a custom patch?


I thought about the same thing a few days ago and I like the idea of 
adding it natively to slstatus. Adding it before the release is fine.


I guess it could be replicated by a run_command using setxkbmap but 
would be nice as a separate component out of the box.


Implementing it using Xlib is more elegant.

Cheers!
Aaron

[hackers] slstatus keymap patch idea

[Michael Buch]

Hey,

I’ve been using slstatus for a while and am really enjoying it. One thing I
sometimes struggle with is keeping track of keyboard layouts.

Was thinking of adding a patch to the current slstatus for a keymap
indicator component. Is it worth adding this feature now or later after the
release as a custom patch?

I guess it could be replicated by a run_command using setxkbmap but would
be nice as a separate component out of the box.

Regards,

Michael
