Keyboard Layouts Plugin forgets settings, unable find workaround
- by Honza Javorek
I use Xubuntu. As everyone knows, Keyboard Layouts Plugin is very, very buggy and it still forgets my settings. It drives me crazy - I have to set them again and again every time I wake up or turn on my laptop.
So I found a solution - put into my .bashrc this:
setxkbmap -option '' -option grp:alt_shift_toggle cz,us -variant querty
That should set my toggle to Alt+shift and my layouts to Czech QUERTY and plain US English as a second one. Voilà, that seems to work! I could use Keyboard Layouts Plugin only as an indicator, that's okay.
However, it doesn't work well. The problem is that it ignores -variant setting. More or less. In Keyboard Layouts Plugin I actually see Czech QUERTY selected, but in reality my keyboard types QUERTZ. That's insane :-(
Could anyone help, please?
