http://askubuntu.com – I use Xubuntu. As everyone knows, Keyboard Layouts Plugin is very, very buggy and it still forgets my settings. It drives me crazy - I have to set them again and again every time I wake up or turn on my laptop. So I found a solution - put into my .bashrc this: setxkbmap -option '' -option grp:alt_shift_toggle cz,us -variant querty That should set my toggle to Alt+shift and my layouts to Czech QUERTY and plain US English as a second one. Voilà, that seems to work! I could use Keyboard Layouts Plugin only as an indicator, that's okay. However, it doesn't work well. The problem is that it i (HowTos)

I am using Keyboard Layouts Plugin to switch between two layouts.

I want to remap Caps Lock to underscore "_"

First I empty Caps Lock, or otherwise caps lock will do both – toggle caps and produce underscore character and then map caps lock to underscore

xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = " xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = underscore"

Problem? This resets every time I log out or change something in Keyboard La

I use XUbuntu 12.04. How can I keep 4 layouts without a need to cycle through them? Are there comamnds to send to plugin and change the layout to a particular one?

I have asked a related question in different sites such as here in German and a related thread here, a different case in the latter though.

I almost solved the question here, basically: "/etc/default/keyboard" -modification and one-line "$ setxkbmap -option grp:caps_toggle -variant dvorak-intl,nodeadkeys, us,de,no &" -- but the layout-settings get reseted after reboot.

I notice that the installer for Ubuntu Server 12.04.1 LTS contains an option that appears to allow you to toggle between more than one keyboard layout:

English (US) - English (layout toggle on multiply/divide key)

However, there is no information about this shown in the installer, and I can't find anything useful online.

I regularly switch back and forth between the US and US Dvorak keyboard l

Hello, I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04LTS in a virtual environment, but I cannot get keyboard layouts to display. It was installed with all defaults, so I'm not sure what's broken. I let it run updates and that still did not let the layouts appear.

Thanks.

I just upgraded from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS on my server (DELL Intel XEON). By SSH login from my mac (OS X Lion) everything is fine (no issues with command lines) but when I open a window through X11, the keyboard layout is now completely messed up.
