Go to your KDE control centre, keyboard layout
In xkb_options, select "enable xkb options" and "alt+shift change layout", click apply
Then go to "keyboard shortcuts", select "switch to next keyboard layout", select "custom shortcut" and press "alt-shift". If everything went correctly with xkb options, this will show up as ISO_next_group and will work for changing layouts.
Thanks. I followed your instructions. Enabled "Alt+Shift change layout" option in Keyboard Layout/Xkb options. Next I changed the shortcut for "Switch to next keyboard layout" action in Keyboard shortcuts. When I clicked Alt+Shift I got "Alt+ISO_Prev_Group" instead of "ISO_next_group". I clicked apply, logged out and in. Alt+Shift has no action, it does not work. Any idea?
Not sure what happens with KDE settings, it did not work to me some years ago so I'm always using SaX2 to configure keyboard layout and switching. In SaX2 select keyboard and go to "Options" tab. You can select more than one option (I'm using Alt-Shift for keyboards without "Win" keys and both Left-Win and Right-Win when there are "Win" keys). I also use Scroll LED to indicate the alternative layout. -- Mark Goldstein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
