Nah, that's not what it means. I'm not sure exactly what it does mean, and I'm too lazy to go read the docs. This part of the file is all auto-generated except for the bits I just added, which you should recognize: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "keyboard" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbLayout" "us,es" Option "XkbOptions" "compose:caps,ctrl:ctrl_aa,lv3:ralt_switch,grp_led:scroll,grp:shifts_toggle" EndSection And then this bit: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Default Screen" InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" EndSection > What happens when you run this in konzole/xterm? Warning! Multiple definitions of rules file Using command line, ignoring X server Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard model Using command line, ignoring X server Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard layout Using command line, ignoring X server Trying to build keymap using the following components: keycodes: xfree86+aliases(qwerty) types: complete compat: complete+ledscroll(group_lock) symbols: pc/pc(pc104)+pc/us+pc/es:2+group(shifts_toggle)+level3 (ralt_switch)+ctrl(ctrl_aa)+compose(caps) geometry: pc(pc104) Well now... This worked, and did what I was expecting. Holding both shift keys toggled between US and Spanish layouts clickity click. That's pretty handy! Beats having to go move the mouse to click on the little flag. The effect was short-lived, though, and went away as soon as I switched back to a KMail window. That was probably because of KDE getting in the way, I'd guess. I'm back in my normal environment at this moment, and KDE's language switcher is probably involving itself in this. I'll have to keep futzing around with this, now that you've proven to me that it can be worth the effort to pursue this. Maybe I will crack open a man page. :) Thanks. -- D.
