No rest for this old dog. Here is how I built my language switcher in Saluki. The languages are Danish and English (US). I was searching Control Panel and found my answer. Go to Control Panel and XFCE Settings Editor. Open (Under Channel) “keyboard-layout". Click on anyone of the sub-Properties...

Darkcity - Thanks for the quick reply. fbxkb is in Saluki, but I don't know how to activate it. After I get a switcher working, then I can think about fbxkb. I really would like an icon on my panel showing which language I'm using. But, I haven't found a switcher as yet in Saluki. First things first...

Since I need only 3 more letters in Danish than English, is there a way in Saluki and/or Precise where keys could be assigned these 3 special Danish letters? For example -- could the Windoz key along with the a-key could be used to make the Danish circle-a (å) letter? Win+o make the Danish slash o (...

Now I'm trying the Precise Puppy 5.4 CD. It provides a language switcher, but doesn't seem to allow a bi-lingual keyboard. I.e., I can have EN or DK, but not both checked. To switch I must go back to setup. Thus the switcher is useless. Strange. Saluki provides for multilingual keyboard, but no swit...

Still running Saluki via CD.
No reboot.
Updated Firefox to 17.0 from Firefox Help.
Restarted Firefox.
Removed my plugin using ppm.
Downloaded your plugin.
Installed your plugin.
Firefox still asks for the plugin.
Restarted Firefox and still no go.
What am I missing?

Dual Language

I need to be able to write in 2 languages, English and Danish. Danish is like English, except it has 3 more characters. This has been no problem using Windoz and Ubuntu. I press Ctrl and Shift together and the language changes. I can see the little icon on my panel showing which language I'm current...
