# xkb_layout
|
|
|
|
Keyboard layout indicator.
|
|
|
|
Monitors for layout change and refreshes on its own without need for signals from i3blocks. Does not handle clicks or switch layouts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Requires:
|
|
|
|
- [xkb-switch](https://github.com/ierton/xkb-switch) utility, should be in your distro's package repository under the same name.
|
|
|
|
- A standard X11 way of switching layouts you would use anyways:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
exec --no-startup-id "setxkbmap -layout us,ru -option 'grp:alt_shift_toggle'"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The above line needs to be executed after X session startup, add it to `~/.config/i3/config` or `~/.xsession` or any other place you manage startup apps and scripts in.
|
|
|
|
# i3blocks config example:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
[xkb_layout]
|
|
command=$SCRIPT_DIR/xkb_layout
|
|
font=monospace
|
|
font_weight=bold
|
|
interval=persist
|
|
markup=pango
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`font` must be a [pango markup](https://developer.gnome.org/pygtk/stable/pango-markup-language.html) compliant font name. If not set, 'monospace' is used as default.
|
|
|
|
`font_weight` must be a [pango markup](https://developer.gnome.org/pygtk/stable/pango-markup-language.html) compliant font weight. If not set, 'bold' is used as default.
