Question

multiple keyboard layouts

Closed this issue 7 years ago · 3 comments

This is probably handled by xset or xserver, but I want to figure out how to have multiple keyboards connected, and swap the keyboard layout based on which one input is coming from.

Seems to be handled by xorg/xserver in general, and setting them up involves identifying actual devices and creating multiple xorg config files. I'm still reading on the details.

I managed to get ibus/mozc working, but nothing yet at the terminal level to support live switching of keyboard layouts.

Turns out I can control fonts and some other behaviors at boot time via /etc/default/console-setup, same as with directly calling setfont, but I do not know whether this can be used as a solution for multi-language support within a terminal.
