Hello list users:

How could I set my desktop to use Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift combination for switching the keyboard layout?

openSUSE 10.3 with kde 3.5.7 "release 72.4". Currently Ctrl+Alt+K does the job but I don't like that I have to press 3 buttons.

Well then, use the KDE Personal Settings tool
to configure it how YOU want it configured

K-menu => Personal settings.
Look for the national flags icon
...and then the keyboard icons.


Then, could you please give me step by step instructions how to do it for the Alt+Shift combination?



Sure, but before you do all of that, check YaST.
That should already be keyboard system default
for keyboard group switching, which is probably
simpler (like Alt-LeftShift)

YaST
=> Hardware
=> Keyboard Layout
=> Options
-> Group Shit/Lock Behavior
-> choose the option you want here
for system (all users) default.

K-menu
=> Personal settings
=>Regional & Accessability
=> Keyboard Layout
=> Layout (to pick alternate keyboards)
=> Switching Options
=> Keyboard Shortcuts
-> Keyboard (very bottom of column "Action")
-> Switch to Next Keyboard Layout
