Re: command line retrieve list of kbd layouts and variants (to use with setxkbmap)
Great thank you, just bad that there's not a --help command, it would be great to parse the output from c code.

Re: command line retrieve list of kbd layouts and variants (to use with setxkbmap)
If you're trying to parse them, why not use the original files such as /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.xml instead of the man page that's generated from them?The XML XKB files have a far more reliable format than the man page, which can change at any time, since we don't expect people to try to parse it. -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersm...@oracle.com Oracle Solaris Engineering - http://blogs.oracle.com/alanc On 07/27/12 04:30 AM, Giuseppe Penone wrote: I realize that doing man -P cat xkeyboard-config all the output goes to stdout and can be parsed with a script or c code.

I need to list all the available layout/variants choices to be used then from setxkbmap. Also about the layout toggle options, is there a way to retrieve a list of all available choices (e.g. grp:shift_caps_toggle , ...) man xkeyboard-config :) Cheers, Peter ___ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com
