Hi all,

Just back from vacation and getting ready for work again. I haven't actually moved to 7.5 but since all the heavyweights are reading here and the question is generic.....

I do about 40% of my writing in two languages (English and Greek). I use the fluxbox menu to change the keyboard layout but it is a real drag to take my hands off the keyboard to switch with the mouse. Can I use the old mod to the xorg.conf?

XkbLayout"us,el"
XkbOptions” “grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle”


Thanks

Yes you can.

This is what I have in my /etc/xorg.conf (I prefer Ctrl Shift)

Section"InputDevice"
Identifier"Keyboard0"
Driver"keyboard"
Option"CoreKeyboard"
Option"XkbModel""pc105"
Option"XkbLayout""us,el"
Option"XKbOptions""grp:ctrl_shift_toggle"
EndSection
