Hello,
For changing the keyboard map I use the following code for a long time:
-- Change_keyboard_maps
kbdcfg = {}
kbdcfg.cmd = "setxkbmap"
kbdcfg.layout = { "fr bepo", "fr", "us" }
-- kbdcfg.model = { "tm2030USB", "pc105", "pc105" }
kbdcfg.current = 1 -- us is our default layout
kbdcfg.widget = wibox.widget.textbox()
kbdcfg.switch = function ()
kbdcfg.current = kbdcfg.current % #(kbdcfg.layout) + 1
local t = " " .. kbdcfg.layout[kbdcfg.current] .. " "
kbdcfg.widget:set_text(t)
os.execute( kbdcfg.cmd .. t )
end
-- Mouse bindings
kbdcfg.widget:buttons(awful.util.table.join(awful.button({ }, 1,
function () kbdcfg.switch() end)
))
which is the previous one before the this one in
https://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Change_keyboard_maps .
I also use superkb (http://superkb.sourceforge.net/) to launch
applications through a click on a virtual keyboard key displayed on the
screen. For example, depressing F6-C launches Calculator.
To stop and restart superkb in rc.lua, I already have the command
awful.util.spawn_with_shell("pkill superkb ; setxkbmap -model tm2030USB
fr bepo ; superkb")
to use a TypeMatrix keyboard with a fr bepo layout, and that works.
When I change the layout to fr by clicking on the taskbar widget, the
keyboard layout is well changed into fr, but the virtual keyboard does
not change.
So I have to insert in the « Change_keyboard_maps » code the commands
awful.util.spawn_with_shell("pkill superkb ; setxkbmap -model tm2030USB
fr bepo ; superkb")
and the command
awful.util.spawn_with_shell("pkill superkb ; setxkbmap -model tm2030USB
fr ; superkb")
Could you explain me how to do that ?
