Can't switch the Keyboard Layout (Alt+Shift)

Post by zAchAry »

Since I have upgraded Salix, Alt+Shit does nothing.

Code: Select all

$ grep fr /etc/X11/xkb/*
/etc/X11/xkb/keycodes.dir:-d------ -------- xfree98(pc98)
/etc/X11/xkb/keymap.dir:-d------ -------- xfree98(jp)
/etc/X11/xkb/keymap.dir:-------- -------- sgi_vndr/ch(fr_indy)
/etc/X11/xkb/keymap.dir:-------- -------- sgi_vndr/ch(fr_indy_nodeadkeys)
/etc/X11/xkb/keymap.dir:-------- -------- sgi_vndr/ch(fr_indigo)
/etc/X11/xkb/keymap.dir:-------- -------- sgi_vndr/ch(fr_indigo_nodeadkeys)
I get nothing for Hebrew:

Code: Select all

$ grep il /etc/X11/xkb/*
$ grep he /etc/X11/xkb/*
How do I get Alt-Shift to work with Xfce without the need of xfce4-xkb-plugin nor xfce4-keyboard-settings ?


I can fix it in Fluxbox with:

Edit:

Code: Select all

~/.fluxbox/keys
Add:

Code: Select all

Mod1 Shift :ToggleCmd {setxkbmap us} {setxkbmap il}

How this response should help to anything (good for the laughter, though)?

Just run the keyboard configuration tool and select the il keymap.

Do you mean to $ xfce4-keyboard-settings ?

I already done it, but Alt+Shift still won't work.

P.s. I have played with the "keyboard model" in the hope to get Alt+Shift to work.

Already done, nothing has changed.

CORRECTION!

I have selected: qwerty & gr (Pressed OK)
Then I went back to the keyboard configuration tool in the system menu and changed back to qwerty & il

Work.

(I'm sorry for wasting your time) :roll:
