XkbSS 0.1 - Xkb Systray Layout Switcher

#1 Post by Argolance »

Bonjour,
Lately, I've come across :arrow: xkb-switch.
Having encountered quite a few problems with fbxkb (which allows to change the keyboard layout with a mouse click from an icon in the system tray), I thought it might be interesting to create the equivalent with yad and its --notification option and even take the opportunity to add some features using a right-click menu allowing, for example, to directly access the current Xkb Configuration Manager as well as some options like choosing an icon theme or load the switcher at startup and so on...

Required:
  • - xkb-switch - has probably to be compiled for different Puppies (32 or 64 bit?)
    - yad 0.40 or above
Translations:
  • en, fr
:idea: Feedback and tips/suggestions welcome.

:!: [EDIT]: Note that the switcher may not react to the left mouse click just after being installed or later at every start of the system. It only begins to operate while pressing any key of the keyboard beforehand. A strangeness...

Cordialement.
