This blog covers a wide array of topics, issues and solutions related to automated testing and system administration. Those are real issues which I have encountered during my career as a test automation engineer on different projects that use different technologies. I hope you find my blog useful.
Switching between two (or more) keyboard layouts in Openbox DE is a task that's quite easy to accomplish, although it might not be so obvious as in other desktop environments. This solution was tested on Arch Linux. You just need to edit this file (assuming you want to switch between English and Ukrainian Phonetic layouts with Alt-Shift): /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-keyboard-layout.conf Section "InputClass" Identifier "keyboard-layout" Driver "evdev" MatchIsKeyboard "yes" Option "XkbLayout" "us,ua(phonetic)" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle" EndSection If you have Nvidia card, don't forget to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf and change Driver from "kbd" to "evdev" in InputDevice section: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "evdev" EndSection Y
