changing keyboard layouts working poorly. #721

Closed jakoprd closed 1 year ago

jakoprd commented 1 year ago

If i use more than two keyboard layouts then switch using hotkey working bad. I want press both shift keys for that.

KeyboardLayouts="us,cz,ru" KeySysKeyboardNext="Shift_L+Shift_R"

this is not work

KeyboardLayouts=us,cz,ru KeySysKeyboardNext="Shift+Alt"

this is not work too but i can click by mouse for change layout. Keyboard layouts must be unquoted?

KeyboardLayouts=us,cz,ru KeySysKeyboardNext="Alt+Shift+k"

this is work, but when i reach last layout in list, hotkey cant jump back to first.

setxkbmap -layout us,cz,ru -option grp:shifts_toggle,caps:none in ~/.xinitrc works, but here is no visual indication in icewm tray.

Traditionally icewm only supports key bindings like "Shift+k", not modifier-only bindings like "Shift_L+Shift_R". The manpage is very clear about how to specify the KeyboardLayouts: https://ice-wm.org/man/icewm#keyboard-layout-switching Please read the manpage first before asking questions.

Oh its my bad. I forgot that there is no latin k letter on the russian keyboard. set the keyboard shortcut to Ctrl+Scroll_Lock and the layout cycling works.
