i have the following in my xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,hu"
Option "XkbVariant" ",qwerty"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
EndSection
its the xkb stuff that matters; i think the same can be achieved by
running `setxkbmap us,hu ,qwerty grp:alt_shift_toggle' if you want to
try it quickly.
this, together with --enable-modelock lets me switch between us and hu
layouts by alt-shift (left-alt right-shift, i don't think the other
combinations work), and this is indicated on the title bar by a button
alternating between an E-ish shape and a heart-ish shape (you need to
yes show the language button for that).
the nice thing is that it's on a per-window basis, so i can keep my
natural environment of us layout for most of the windows, and switch
to hu for windows (usually the browser) that need it, when they need
it.
i figure this is an extremely nice feature for old farts like me, who
feel at home with the us layout, but sometimes have to type in their
native character sets.
