Terminal command for changing ibus keyboard layout?
Actually, ibus
provides an system tray applet.
- Run
ibus-setup
- On General tab, Check Show icon on system tray
- On General tab, confirm you have shortcut
- On Advanced tab,Uncheck Use system keyboard layout
It's more related to xkb
than to ibus
(but I am not sure I completely understand the intricacy of the keyboard handling, as you can see in this post of mine) but you can detect the current configuration with
[romano:~] % setxkbmap -query
rules: evdev
model: pc105
layout: es,gb
variant: standard_tlde,
options: caps:none,compose:caps,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
note it down, and then use
setxkbmap -layout es -variant standard_tlde -option caps:none,compose:caps,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
that you can associate to a key. It should work in all Ubuntu flavors, at least X11-based (no idea about wayland).
