Configuring Hebrew keyboard in KDE desktop
System: a PC with vanilla Debian Etch installation, with Gnome 2.14.3.6 and KDE 3.5.5 (package version 5:47). In Gnome, the Hebrew keyboard is properly configured, including LED to indicate which keyboard is active (Latin or Hebrew). However, I was not successful in doing the same in KDE. When I log into KDE desktop and use the KDE keyboard tool (Kxkb), I can configure Latin +Hebrew keyboard layouts, and switch between them when clicking on Kxkb's icon in the system tray (a flag). But I was not successful in getting it to recognize the Left Shift + Right Shift key combination, which I use to switch between layouts. Neither was I successful in getting the Scroll Lock LED to indicate the current keyboard layout. Both options exist in the Kxkb configure tab "Xkb Options". The "Enable xkb options" checkbox is checked. Any advice about getting KDE to support Hebrew as well as Gnome?

I believe we had this question answered here, by Yours truly, at least twice, with configs and everything.

I simpy don't use KDE's configuration because of that, and use this combo: a. install kkbswitch, an alternative kde keyboard switcher http://kkbswitch.sourceforge.net/ b. simply add to .bashrc on my account: setxkbmap us,il -option grp:alt_shift_toggle kkbswitch On 5/22/07, Omer Zak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: System: a PC with vanilla Debian Etch installation, with Gnome 2.14.3.6 and KDE 3.5.5 (package version 5:47).

Note that there are some pecular differences in configuration between X.org and XFree86, like for example, ledscroll changed a section. -- Sincerely Yours, Michael Vasiliev Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind. -- Wm.
