Details about modelock and keyboard language switch

[Joel Carnat]

Hi,

I just discover the expert user preference "enable keyboard language switch button in window titlebars" but couldn't find much documentation about it. From the sources, I could find a few modelock references but I couldn't read the code enough to actually understand all it does.

I have an Xorg configuration that allows me to switch between 3 layouts using "grp:win_space_toggle" and I see the icon changing when I switch the layout with my keyboard. The keyboard shortcut changes the layout for all the windows, but only the current window has its icon changed. I end up with windows having the wrong layout indicator in their title. Is this expected? Is there a way for all windows icon to get synced?

Is it possible to change the icon without modifying the sources ?

Thanks.

sorry for the late reply and the kinda off-topic since I am not actually answering your specific question:

While my native language is Spanish I love using English keyboards, both standard and international versions:

rudy@rudy:~/bin$ cat us.sh  
#!/bin/bash
setxkbmap us  
rudy@rudy:~/bin$ cat usint.sh  
#!/bin/bash
setxkbmap us -variant intl

What I did was to create a sub-menu with two menu entries executing each script, then assign Alt-Ctrl-I and Alt-Ctrl-K  to each menu entry as shortcut, that way I can switch keyboards and write ñ or á when I need to. And since I work as a programmer I normally need the keyboard configured to English standard. I think I took that shortcuts from KDE.

hope it helps.
