Re: Keyboard switches and awesome
I use two variants and I actually prefer the way it's working now, so maybe the current behavior is intentional. For example in slovak layout, I wouldn't be able to switch tags with my keyboard as numbers are accessed with Shift key pressed. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
Re: Keyboard switches and awesome
yes, that will indeed work perfectly... And it is one way to solve the issue :) However, since we have the option of grouping layouts in localectl, these should behave as expected in awesome :) I think this is a bug to be reported, but if it affects other window/desktop managers as Max said, I do not really know where to file it... I will stick to switching via awesome hotkeys as Samuel suggested, for now! Thanks for the help!

Re: Keyboard switches and awesome
Does it work when you switch/set the layout using just the plain `setxkbmap us ...` or `setxkbmap us -variant dvorak ...`, instead of its builtin toggling? I have those commands linked to hotkeys in awesome, and never had this problem. -- *Regards,* *Samuel Walladge.* On 18 November 2015 at 02:02, Riccardo Sven Risuleo wrote: > Thanks for your reply, sadly that did not solve the problem: the command > bindings in awesome do not follow the keyboard layout when I use groups. > > On Tue, Nov 17, 2015 at 4:10 PM [email protected] > wrote: > >> >> >> >> Вторник, 17 ноября 2015, 9:25 UTC от Riccardo Sven Risuleo < >> [email protected]>: >> >> >> >> Hi all, >> I have a problem that has been bugging me for a while, and I hope >> somebody knows how to solve it... >> >> I have a keyboard layout switch, set with >> >> setxkbmap -layout us,us -variant dvorak, -option >> caps:escape,grp:toggle,grp:alts_toggle,grp_led:caps >> >> This will allow me to toggle my layout from us to dvorak by pressing both >> the alts keys. >> This works perfectly, and the keymap switches fine, however all the >> bindings for awesome do not change.

Re: Keyboard switches and awesome
I'm using the german variant neo2 on a regular basis. To enable others to use my computers the layout can be switched to regular german layout. My experience is as yours but on a much broader basis. KDE, Gnome, XFCE and Awesome had this behaviour and it goes so far that even shortcuts as 'CTRL+C' in terminals were tied to a specific key and did not change when changing layout. That said, I think that it might be helpful to look how this kind of problem is solved in other DEs. sincerely, Max Görner PGP: https://wwwpub.zih.tu-dresden.de/~maxgoern/2FE6023F.asc signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
Re: Keyboard switches and awesome
Thanks for your reply, sadly that did not solve the problem: the command bindings in awesome do not follow the keyboard layout when I use groups.
