Keybord laybout changer for Openbox, with Shell script, Keybinding and Autostart
These files are the configuration to change keyboard layout in Openbox. I did it with some research and thanks to Reddit too.
There are 3 files that you need to add or modify. And in my case I use 2 keyboard layouts, English and Khmer (us,kh) And I config my keybinding to Windows + Spacebar to switch the keyboard.
#Installation
- Modify the layout.sh to fit your current situation, in my case there are US and KH.
- Copy it too
/usr/local/bin/layout.shand make it executable by:sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/layout.sh - Add keybinding from rc.xml to your rc.xml file that usually locates in
~/.config/openbox/rc.xmland make sure it's not duplicated. - Add autostart entry from Autostart file to your Autostart file in
~/.config/openbox/autostart, this will set keymap to US in every login. - Log out or Reboot
Note: You should know some Shell command to modify the Layout.sh, if you wanna add more keyboard.
