Multi lang keyboard switching (solved)

#1 Post by Andreh »

Hi
I need to switch between multiple keyboards in one text line, like English, Arabic, Armenian, Farsi, Russian...
I could do it in windows each time I pressed alt+tab but I can only switch 2 keyboards in puppy.
How can I setup puppy so I can switch 5 keyboards at the same time

Flags indicator in taskbar

#4 Post by vovchik »

There is a very nice utility that shows the appropriate flags in the IceWM taskbar. The program is fbxkb. Try to get v. 0.6 as earlier versions produced a segmentation fault on Puppy 2.10. I compiled it myself, since I could not find an existing binary. The source is at sourceforge. I have us, ru, uk and de running at the moment.

Cheers, vovchik
