Re: using only left alt-shift for language changing
Hi, I'm not sure about the second criteria (without any other key presses) but I use the following configuration in KDE to have switching to hebrew on Alt+ *LEFT* shift : In xorg.conf I have: Section InputDevice Identifier Keyboard0 Driver kbd Option XkbLayout us,il EndSection In KDE control panel there is: - Hebrew layout defined (regional accessibility - keyboard layout). - Of course - Make caps lock additional Control ! ;-) (keyboard layout - Xkb options tab) Now, leave KDE setting for layout switching on Ctrl+Alt+k. Now logout of KD to your console. Edit $HOME/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals and edit the line Switch to Next Keyboard Layout to something like Alt+Shift_L (no quotes), if only Left shift specification is enough for you. Never tried specifying Alt_L or something like that. Good luck, Boaz.

Is there a way to limit group switching in X to just the left-alt + left-shift combination or even better, only when no other extra character was pressed? thanks = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
