Hi
Hamza.
Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=~/.config/autostart/xkb.desktop
Comment=Keyboard Layout Switcher settings
Exec=setxkbmap -layout ru,us -option grp:alt_shift_toggle
OnlyShowIn=LXDE
It does not work for me.

@Blaze
this is a bug in 'kmap=' cheat implementation. please update 002/opt/porteus-scripts/paths with following code:
Code: Select all
KMAP=`egrep -o " kmap=[^ ]+" /proc/cmdline | cut -d= -f2`
[ "$KMAP" = "" ] || setxkbmap $KMAP -option "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
during boot time you will have to provide more than one (and less than four as setxkbmap supports only 3 maps) keyboard mappings (separated by comma) to be able to switch between them. example:
'kmap=ru,us' or 'kmap=pl,de,us'
@Ahau
please update chetcode description on your side.
