kbdd_layout

Show keyboard layout using dbus and kbdd.

kbdd is a useful daemon made for lightweight window managers. It works with xkb and remembers layouts for each window.

Requirements

Dependencies: kbdd (typically in package of the same name).

You can set your keyboard configuration e.g. with

exec --no-startup-id "setxkbmap -layout us,ru -option 'grp:ctrl_alt_toggle'"

in your i3 config. The blocklet must be restarted if you execute another setxkbmap command, or it may give incorrect results.
