Delay with switching to a layout (Libxklavier)

Anonymous — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 17:26:36 -0000

Here is my use case: I use Ctrl+Ins for switching between layouts (Russian and English). But many application suggests hot keys like Ctrl+Ins+<Key> so I am out of luck in such cases now. It is because (gnome-settings-daemon?) switches immediately after pressing Ctrl and Shift so the last key <Key> pressing means just pressing only that single <Key>. This issue is actual with other switching popular keybindings such as Alt+Shift.

It would be nice if layout switching is delayed until I release Ctrl and Shift (if I dont press <Key> before, of course).

Make libxklavier compile on Solaris

Compiling libxklavier on Solaris with gcc 3.3.2, I get:

Finer-grained per application control

Filip Miletic — Fri, 28 Nov 2003 09:32:22 -0000

This kind of treats more the gsw4app plugin, but I hope
it's okay to put it here.

A finer-grained gsw4app window discrimination would
come in handy (you might want to take a look at
sawfish, to see how fine grained it can get).

For instance, I use GAIM on regular basis and type away
to many people. But not all of them have the same
software, as to some I can type away in cyrillic,
others can stand only latin transcription, and third
ones again can read only pure ASCII.

I would like therefore to be able to instruct gswitchit
to monitor the window title (and perhaps some other
things apart from just window class as it is now) and
set the keyboard accordingly. I could argue that it
should be even discriminated on a per-widget level!
(Yes I do have a feeling that I am nitpicking, but
please understand that I do actively use keyboard
switching: every day, entire day, and kind of think
that I've developed a feeling of what I really miss in
all switchers)

Ideally, after some training period, I would not need
to press the keyboard switch at all. Ever.

flags

Nigel Wetters Gourlay — Thu, 18 Sep 2003 09:21:52 -0000

What format of flags do you need?

At the momenet, I'm concentrating on providing GIF and
WINICON flags here:

http://sf.net/projects/flags

If you let me know what you need, I'm sure we can
halve the effort, and let other people benefit from the
flags too.

default layout

Alexander Evseev — Tue, 23 Jul 2002 01:46:54 -0000

Suggest implement feature for select default layout. It
mean new windows will create in this layout.

smart group switching

Alexander Evseev — Tue, 19 Feb 2002 07:27:38 -0000

Suggest to implement smart switching of xkb groups. For
example if I start type english chars while xkb in my
national group program recognize it and switch group
to english one. Rules for detecting wrong typing must
be separate preferences.

Similar soft for windows (in russian)
