If you're in KDE just hit (with 3 fingers) : <CTRL>,<ALT>,<k> and y'll switch
keyboard.
If you want to change that to i.e. <ALT>&<SHIFT> which is the winder$
combination.....go into <configuration>,<KDE>,<accessibility>,<keyboard
shortcuts> and change it in there to whatever you want.=:o)
You can have as many keyboards you want in there. I'd recomend the
US_international with no_dead_keys though. It's got all the accents you
except ç.
Good luck,
