Three keyboard layouts

Hi,

There was a need for three keyboard layouts, in the configuration parameters I found only the following:

primary_keyboard_layout=pl
secondary_keyboard_layout=de

If I add layouts separated by commas,

secondary_keyboard_layout=de, us

switching stops working.

Thanks.

Were you able to find a solution to the problem? And I tried to separate with a comma - it didn't work. I tried adding a new Tertiary line, but it still didn't work.

I want to have 3 keyboard layouts - en, bg and bg:phonetic. how to achieve this as during installation i can only select two out of the three?

I don't know if you can get a third one. If you have the chance that a developper reads you post maybe you will get that favor.

Meanwhile, you can use the setxkbmap command from terminal to get the keyboard you would like to work with at any time.

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ setxkbmap us
guest@porteus:~$ setxkbmap bg
guest@porteus:~$ setxkbmap bg phonetic

Once these three have been written within the terminal application or if you save sessions, use the upper arrow key to select the keyboard setting that you prefer.

You can even make a script of it.
Hope this helps.

I tried it and it works. I did it and it even worked with one line command - setxkbmap -option grp:alt_shift_toggle "us,bg,bg" -variant ",bds,phonetic". How can I make it run automatically on system startup?
