Keyboard Layout Configuration and Switching #128

Closed MrC-101 closed 4 months ago

MrC-101 commented 5 months ago

Is it possible to add more than one keyboard layout and a switching configuration between them in hypr.conf? Thanks in advance!

vaxerski commented 5 months ago

isn't that handled by xorg?

MrC-101 commented 5 months ago

I'm on Arcolinux and tried with localectl command already localectl --no-convert set-x11-keymap us,gr pc104 grp:caps_toggle and manually as well, but I'm stuck with us only. What am I missing? Thanks in advance!

I don't know if I'm missing something but aren't you referring to this? https://wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Uncommon-tips--tricks/#switchable-keyboard-layouts

Then you change it with hyprctl and that's it no? https://wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Using-hyprctl/#switchxkblayout

That's for hyprland. I'm using the hyprwm under X11, so I change the xorg config file (00-keyboard.conf)

I was hoping to be able to change through different keyboard layouts using a key or a combination of keys on the keyboard ie. capslock or alt-shift combo

Oh I'm so sorry, I didn't realize this was hypr repo.

Setting a key combo is just setting a keybind in ur hypr config to execute the necessary command no?

No worries! I was getting confused too!

No, that's why I asked if that would be possible to be implemented.

What's ur current keyboard.conf?

current 00-keyboard.conf

Section "InputClass"
              Identifier "system-keyboard"
              MatchIsKeyboard "on"
              Option "XkbLayout" "us,gr"
              Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
 EndSection

Couldn't find a solution so I installed hyprland and managed to control keyboard layout from its conf file. Thanks everyone for trying to help. Closing this. Best regards.
