Re: [dev] Keyboard language/layout used with slock
Hi, * Benjamin Chausse 2022-09-04 23:39 Is there an existing elegant way to force slock to only use a certaint layout? My current best idea would be to used the failure-command patch to switch my layout after 1 incorrect password but this feels somewhat janky. slock man page says SYNOPSIS slock [-v] [cmd [arg ...]] DESCRIPTION slock is a simple X screen locker. If provided, cmd [arg ...] is executed after the screen has been locked. so, you probably can do something like slock setxkbmap -layout "us" -variant "intl-unicode" And I should probably do so, too, and remove some mental load. Thanks for making me think about it. cheers --s
