Wha I have seen relatively commonly is people with multiple keymaps and switching between them - like a us qwerty and a russian one and a french one or something and they physically use the same keyboard and just switch keymaps when switching lang - but not a user private custom one. :) they bind keys to switch keymaps and the xkb gadget shows the current keymap etc. :) you can try the "don't touch my kbd layout" of course... that should have e leave it alone... -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- Carsten Haitzler - ras...@rasterman.com _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
