http://askubuntu.com – I have set Alt+Shift as my Key(s) to change layout using layout option. Where this option is saved? Is it a gconfig item, dconfig item or in a file configuration for keyboard layouts? I want to change it manually with using the GUI, because I want to use a different key combination. (HowTos)

In my distribution (Slackware 13.37), the console keyboard layout is chosen among some of those available in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps ' sub directories, coming from the kbd package.

Under X instead the keyboard layout is chosen in a "layout" list included in the file /etc/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.lst.

If somebody switched from stable to backport repository in #! the keyboard layout switcher stops to work. Actually it sticks to US and ignore /etc/default/keyboard configuration. To fix it add setxkbmap us,ru -option grp:ctrl_shift_toggle &to openbox autostart.sh file or to ~/.xsessionrc file. It fixes the problem. Replace us,ru to any necessary language.Maybe it will help somebody.

I use Colemak for English layout and standard Korean layout. If I were to use Qwerty and Korean, it works out of the box. I can switch between layouts by pressing Shift+Space with the default Samsung keyboard.

So I basically followed this thread's instruction to get Colemak to work.

My keyboard (HP bluetooth keyboard), however, does not generate a separate .kl file in the keylayout folder.

What I want is to be able to press:

Ctrl + Shift + 1 - switch to English keyboard layout Ctrl + Shift + 2 - switch to Hebrew keyboard layout Ctrl + Shift + 3 - switch to Russian(Phonetic) keyboard layout

I've seen similar questions already asked here, but only answers I saw used setxkbmap which breaks the UI keyboard layout selector, which is something undesired.

Thanks for any help.
