http://crunchbanglinux.org – I have no way of knowing how many of you use two or more different keyboard layouts, but at least for me it is quite easier to have the layout applet remembering the different layouts for each application - for example I tend to use my native language in my im conversations, english in my browser, spanish in abiword - having to constantly switch the layouts every time I go from one window to another is time consuming and plain annoying. Since sadly fbxkb (the default keyboard indicator in Crunchbang) does not provide the option to remember each application's layout, for more than a year I (HowTos)

I'm trying to install F18 (from USB live system - install to hard disk).

When it comes to selecting language, I select English (US) as English (UK) doesn't appear to be available. Since this is only for the installation process, this doesn't worry me.

But when it comes to Keyboard layout, I have a serious problem.

I was frustrated at how I had to bind a different keybinding to each layout I wanted to switch to.  So I came up with a simple script which simply checks a file and changes the keyboard layout accordingly.  I needed to switch between US and US International, so those are the two layouts my script checks for.  However, this can easily be adapted for more than two layouts.Here's
