Lee, I subscribed to the list you mentioned but should I repeate the same thread there or what?
Charlie, thanks for your answer but it didn't exactly did what I want I'm using Ubuntu the code you put gave me this result: XKBLAYOUT=us,ara what I need to get is the current keyboard layout maybe I wasn't clear while putting my problem, so I"ll try to explain more I want to check my current keyboard layout so if its Arabic, it would be changed to English (in some textboxes) and vices versa. i.e I want to use English in some textboxes and Arabic in others, and I want that to be done through a code to check Keyboard layout and change it if needed or keep it if no need to change it thanks in advance to everyone trying to help -------------------------------------------- On Tue, 10/2/18, T Lee Davidson <t.lee.david...@gmail.com> wrote: Subject: Re: [Gambas-user] How to Change Keyboard Layout To: gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net Date: Tuesday, October 2, 2018, 7:42 PM I did not notice, and perhaps you didn't either Charlie, that this is the DEPRECATED Gambas list.
