Hi guys,
I’m from a country where you have to use strange keyboard layout (czech –
cs_CZ) to write e-mails and stuff (with letters like ěščřžýáí...) but
the same layout is unusable to manage linux servers (almost impossible to write
basic characters like /[]*...). This means I’m getting headache every time I
run PuTTY and log in to a server, because I forget to change the layout
everytime and then I write gibberish. When I switched to SuperPuTTY it got even
worse, because every tab can have different keyboard layout set and after
connect, it's always the system default...
What do I need? I want to have an option where I could define the layout to
select everytime I open a connection. If it would be possible, I’d like to
see a list of input locales installed in the system but I’m able to live with
basic text field where I would have to type for example „00000409“ for U.S.
English primary layout.
I guess it’s enough to call HKL WINAPI LoadKeyboardLayout function with flags
KLF_ACTIVATE and KLF_SETFORPROCESS at the right moment.

I’m of course willing to do some testing, or even help writing it, if
you’ll find it at least possible to do.
Thanks in advance
Petr
