How to send switch layout?

[sergei-mironov]

Hi, Mladia. Popular desktop environments, like KDE, usually allow users to bind keyboard combinations to custom commands. What desktop environment do you use?

xbindkeys?

Hi, I have not problem binding the script!

I am now having the following problem

xkb-switch on master [$] 
 ✘130 ➜ setxkbmap -layout 'us,de,bg' -variant ' , ,phonetic'

xkb-switch on master [$] 
 ➜ xkb-switch
us( )

xkb-switch on master [$] 
 ➜ echo "switch" | ./xkb-group.sh "us( )" "bg(phonetic)"

xkb-switch on master [$] 
 ➜ xkb-switch                                           
bg(phonetic)

xkb-switch on master [$] 
 ➜ echo "switch" | ./xkb-group.sh "us( )" "bg(phonetic)"
xkb-switch: Invalid argument: )
xkb-switch: layouts: []

I can switch from en to bg, but not back around, when I use the same command. Is xkb-group.sh meant to only work in one direction?

Could you please try xkb-group.sh from master?

Hallo, I am not using the tool anymore. My last comment had a minimal scenario, which triggered the problem. You can run the commands and see if the expected behavior is there and close the issue.

OK, For me it looks like it should work now, so I'm closing the issue
